Karin Inger Monica Nilsson (born 4 May 1959 in Kisa) is a Swedish actress.

She was well known for her portrayal of Pippi Longstocking on a Swedish television series during 1969, compiled to a film 1973, and two films 1970. However, she could not build on this success as an adult actress, and now works as a secretary in Stockholm, although occasionally taking small stage roles. In 2000 the Swiss director Xavier Koller convinced her to take a role in his film "Gripsholm", based on a novel by Kurt Tucholsky.

2007 she can be seen, on the German TV-channel ZDF, as the forensic pathologist Ewa in the TV-series "”Der Kommissar und das Meer”" (The Superintendent and the sea).
