Brita Ingrid Maria Malmer (1 June 1925 – 8 May 2013), was a Swedish numismatist who specialized in the Viking Age.
She received her licentiate degree in 1953 and her PhD in 1966 with a dissertation on the oldest Hedeby coins, Nordiska mynt före år 1000.
She was equally committed to exhibitions and research, especially the project Corpus nummorum saeculorum IX-XI qui in Suecia reperti sunt, a catalog of all Viking Age coins found in Sweden, which she led for twenty years.
[2][1] Initially employed part-time, Malmer got a full-time position in 1962 and was promoted to manager of the Royal Coin Cabinet in 1971.
She held the post until 1979, when she was appointed Gunnar Ekström Professor of Numismatics and Money History.
