Nancy Vonderheide (born c.1939 in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States), later Nancy Kleinman, is a former World Champion archer who represented the United States.
Vonderheide took up archery in 1959 after starting to date Marvin Kleinman, a partner at the legal firm she was working at, who was a keen archer.[1] Within two years, she won the World Championships in Oslo as an unknown; she also set two new world records at the event. She went on to carry out a record breaking 16 competition unbeaten streak, before being upset at the 1963 Championships by compatriot Victoria Cook. She was not selected for the United States team for any future Championships.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
