Wilhelmina "Willy" den Turk (3 April 1908[1] – 19 June 1937[2][3]) was a Dutch swimmer. She won a gold medal in the 100 m backstroke and a silver in the 4×100 m freestyle relay at the 1927 European Aquatics Championships. The same year she set a world record in the 100 m backstroke. This was the first Dutch world record in a backstroke event, and it was bettered by another Dutch swimmer, Marie Braun.[4]
Den Turk was selected for the 100 m backstroke and the 4×100 m medley relay at the 1928 Summer Olympics,[5] but had to withdraw due to a foot injury.[2][6] She retired shortly thereafter, married Henri Emil Lagerman in 1930, and in 1933 gave birth to a son. She died of a sudden illness, aged 29.[2]
