Veronika "Ronny" Kohlbach (3 January 1906 – 1996) was an Austrian athlete. She competed at the 1936 Olympics in the 80 m hurdles, 4 × 100 m relay and discus throw, with the best result of 13th place in the discus throw. Two years later she finished fifth in the long jump at European championships, where she had to compete for the Nazi Germany due to their accession of Austria.
