Emilie Ågheim Kalkenberg (born 6 July 1997) is a Norwegian biathlete who represents the Skonseng youth team.

At the 2018 IBU Open European Championships, Kalkenberg won bronze in the mixed relay together with Kaia Wøien Nicolaisen, Håvard Bogetveit and Fredrik Gjesbakk.[1]

She made her World Cup debut in the 2017–18 season, finishing 69th in Oberhof. After several lowly performances, she broke the top 20 with a 20th place in Canmore in the 2018–19 season, also recording a 2nd place in the Canmore relay. In the 2019–20 season, her best finishes were 26th and 15th in Kontiolahti.[2]

She hails from Skonseng. When she was a child, Kalkenberg suffered from myalgic encephalomyelitis for two years, being diagnosed at Rikshospitalet. Her parents credit Live Landmark's "Lightning Process" for Kalkenberg's recovery.[3]
