Conn Findlay (born April 24, 1930 in Stockton, California) is a four-time Olympic medalist, and is one of the few to medal in two distinct sports.

Findlay won gold medals in rowing at the 1956 and the 1960 Summer Olympics, and took a bronze at the 1960 Games, all in the Pair with Coxswain event.

At the 1976 Summer Olympics Findlay teamed with Dennis Conner to win a Bronze medal in Sailing's Tempest class.
