Susanne Ljungskog (born March 16, 1976) is a Swedish cyclist. A two time Olympian (2000 and 2004), she won the World Road Race Championship two years in succession (2002 and 2003). The same years, she was UCI Points champion. She has also won two World Cup races in her career.

Ljungskog received the Svenska Dagbladet Gold Medal in 2002.

Note: Beginning in 1997, the Union Cycliste Internationale implemented a points listing whereby points were awarded riders based on their performances in racing events. For this purpose, the races were classified into categories. Although the exact system has evolved over the years, the major stage races are generally classified as category 1 (strongest), and category 2. In the listings below, these categories, where known, are given in parentheses. The abbreviation GC stands for General Classification.
