Evy Margareta Berggren (later Westerberg; 16 June 1934 – 5 December 2018) was a Swedish gymnast. She competed at the 1952 and 1956 Summer Olympics and won a gold and a silver medal in team exercise with portable apparatus, respectively. Her teams finished fourth all-around in 1952. Her best individual result was a bronze medal on the vault at the 1954 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, where her compatriot Ann-Sofi Pettersson and Soviet Union's Tamara Manina were both awarded gold as they were tied at the same score ahead of Berggren.[1][2]
