Maurilio De Zolt (born September 29, 1950 in the province of Belluno) is a former Italian cross country skier who competed from 1982 to 1997. His best known victory was part of the 4 x 10km relay team that upset Norway at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. He also won three silver medals Winter Olympics, earning two in the 50 km (1988, 1992) and one in the 4 x 10 km relay (1992).

De Zolt also won 6 medals at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, including 1 gold (50 km: 1987), 3 silvers (50 km: 1985, 4 x 10 km: 1985, 1993), and 2 bronzes (15 km: 1985, 50 km: 1991).

At the Opening Ceremony for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin on February 10, he and his 4 x 10 km relay teammates (Giorgio Vanzetta, Marco Albarello, and Silvio Fauner) who won the gold at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, were among the last carriers of the Olympic torch before it was lit by fellow Italian cross country skier Stefania Belmondo.
