East Germany women's national artistic gymnastics team

Shortly after World War II Germany was split into East Germany and West Germany. For many years East and West Germany had competed as a Unified Team.[1] East Germany made their World Championships debut in 1962 and their Olympic debut in 1968.

This list includes all East German female artistic gymnasts who have won at least four medals at the Olympic Games and the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships combined. This list does not includes medals won as a unified Germany. Also not included are medals won at the 1984 Friendship Games (alternative Olympics).
