Ulla Strand (21 March 1943 – 7 August 2007), born as Ulla Rasmussen, was badminton player of Denmark who excelled from the early 1960s to the early 1970s. Though she won three Danish national singles titles and reached the women's singles final at the All-England Championships in 1965, most of her major championship victories were in doubles (often with her sister Karin Jorgensen) and mixed doubles. Attractive and charismatic, she was a crowd favorite throughout her career.
She was included in the Badminton Hall of Fame in 1999. Ulla Strand died in 2007 after a long illness.
