Enni Marja Lyydia Mälkönen (born 25 September 1990)[1] is a Finnish rally co-driver. She won the World Rally Championship-3 co-drivers' championship in 2022, and the World Rally Championship-2 co-drivers' championship in 2024.
Mälkönen previously competed in show jumping, but decided to take up rallying after her horse was injured. Her father was also a rally driver. Mälkönen made her rally debut in 2012.[2]
Mälkönen won the WRC3 co-drivers' championship in 2022, making her the first woman to win the championship in any WRC class.[3] The two top drivers in the class (Lauri Joona and Jan Černý) changed co-drivers during the season, while Mälkönen continued as Sami Pajari's co-driver throughout the season.

In 2024, Mälkönen and Pajari won the WRC2 championship, where she became the second woman to win the co-drivers' championship in the category, after Reeta Hämäläinen in 2022.[4] Following their win, Pajari announced that the duo would no longer be driving together, as he was moving up to the premier WRC class.[5] Mälkönen was later announced to be co-driving for Esapekka Lappi in the 2025 Finnish Rally Championship.[6]
