Mikala Münter Gundersen (born 26 September 1968) is a Danish dressage rider.[1] She represented Denmark at the 2014 World Equestrian Games where she finished 7th with Danish team in the team dressage competition.

She has also qualified for the 2014 Dressage World Cup Final in Lyon, France after finishing 2nd in North American League. She became eligible to compete at the World Cup Final after the fellow Danish rider, Anna Kasprzak, withdrew.[2] At the World Cup Final held in Lyon's Euroexpo Mikala finished 11th with My Lady.

In April 2015, Gundersen qualified for the 2015 FEI World Cup finals in Las Vegas, Nevada which was held from the 15–19 April. She came in 12th place in the Grand Prix, which was due to an "expensive mistake". Despite that, Gundersen rode an excellent Grand Prix Freestyle in which she held the leading score all the way until the half-time break. She ended the evening with a 9th place ribbon with a score of 75.018, right behind the Spanish rider, Morgan Barbançon, who rides the famous stallion, Painted Black.

Later that year, Mikala competed at the 2015 European Dressage Championships in Aachen, Germany where she finished 8th in team dressage and 27th in individual dressage competition.

She is currently based in Wellington, Florida.
