Conny van Bentum is a swimmer who has competed for the Netherlands. She competed at the 1980, 1984, and 1988 Summer Olympic Games.
Van Bentum became the first Dutch woman to win an Olympic swimming medal in each of the three editions contested. All of her medals were attributed to her role in the 4x100 metres freestyle relay, a bronze in Moscow and a silver each in Los Angeles and Seoul. On the individual side, she failed to attain a single medal in any of her freestyle and butterfly races. Van Bentum's foremost individual result happened in the 100 metres freestyle final at Los Angeles 1984 where she landed on the fourth spot behind her teammate Annemarie Verstappen, missing the podium by 0.35 seconds.
