Karen Christine Irene Benneweis née Petersen (1891–1970) was a Danish circus acrobat and circus director. From childhood performed on the tightrope and the trapeze. In 1910, she joined Circus Benneweis and married its director, Ferdinand Benneweis, in 1915. Thanks to her education, she successfully developed the circus in the 1930s. After her husband's death in 1945, she became its director, drawing on the assistance of her adopted son Eli who eventually took control in 1956.
