Madeleine Kanstrup Dupont (born 26 May 1987 in Glostrup, Denmark[1]) is a Danish curler from Copenhagen.[2] She won the Frances Brodie Award in 2004. She currently skips her own team with teammates Mathilde Halse, Jasmin Holtermann, My Larsen, and Denise Dupont (Madeleine's sister).[3]

Dupont has competed in three Olympic Games and 14 World Championships, winning medals at the 2007 World Women's Curling Championship (silver) and the 2009 World Women's Curling Championship (bronze). She won a gold medal at the World Junior-B Curling Championships in 2004 and a silver medal in 2002 at the European Curling championships as an alternate for Dorthe Holm's team. She also won a bronze medal at the 2007 World Junior Curling Championships. She won two bronze medals at the European Championships, throwing last rocks for Denmark, in 2008 and 2009. In 2022 she became European champion after an extra-end win over Switzerland in the final.[4][5]

At the Olympics, Dupont threw last rocks for her country at the 2010 Vancouver Games, where the team finished in fourth place. She skipped the Danish team at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang to a 10th place finish, and again at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, finishing 9th.

On the World Curling Tour, she won the Yi Chun Ladies International event in Yichun, Heilongjiang in December 2011 and the 2021 Women's Masters Basel.

As of August 2023, Dupont is a coordinator for the Danish curling elite programme.[6]
