'''Karin Margareta Glenmark''' (8 April 1952 – 30 October 2025) was a Swedish pop and rock singer.<ref>[http://www.discogs.com/artist/Karin+Glenmark Discogs: Karin Glenmark]. Retrieved 29 May 2010</ref> She was the niece to Bruno Glenmark and sister to Anders Glenmark. Together with Anders, she was a part of the siblings duo Gemini, and together with uncle Bruno and his wife Ann-Louise Hanson, they formed the group Glenmarks.

Glenmark participated in Melodifestivalen five times. She performed with Glenmarks in 1973 with the song "En liten sång som alla andra" (finished joint 4th), in 1974 with the song "I annorlunda land" (8th), and in 1975 with the song "Lady Antoinette" (6th place).

In 1983, Glenmark took part alone with the song "Se" (3rd place), and in 1984, she took part together with her brother Anders with the song "Kall som is" (4th place). The following year, Karin and Anders took the Gemini name, as suggested by Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA (who, together with Benny Andersson, co-produced Gemini's two albums). Their 1996 release was produced by Michael Saxell, who also composed all the songs. Swedish poet Jacques Werup wrote the lyrics.

Glenmark had three children: Lisa, Nils, and Anton. Nils Tull is active in the music industry, singing in the band Hoffmaestro. Glenmark died on 30 October 2025, at the age of 73.<ref>[https://omni.se/karin-glenmark-ar-dod/a/rPvg10 Artisten Karin Glenmark är död – blev 73 år] Omni.
