Enni Mälkönen (born 25 September 1990)[1] is a Finnish rally co-driver. She won the World Rally Championship-3 co-drivers' championship in 2022.
Mälkönen won WRC3 co-drivers' championship in 2022, making her the first woman to do so.[2] The two top drivers in the class (Lauri Joona and Jan Černý) changed co-drivers during the season, while Mälkönen continued as Sami Pajari's co-driver throughout the season. Previously, no woman had won the championship in any WRC class.
Mälkönen previously competed in show jumping, but after her horse was injured, she decided to take up rallying. Mälkönen's father was also a rally driver. Mälkönen herself made her debut in 2012. AKK-Motorsport organized coaching, in which she participated in the entrance exams.
