Karl Schranz (born 18 November 1938 in St. Anton, Tyrol) is a former alpine skier from Austria.
Schranz was one of the best giant slalom skiers in the 1960s, but rather unlucky in the Olympics. He was sick in 1960, and scored a silver in 1964. In 1968, at Grenoble, he was disqualified, and French Jean-Claude Killy won. In the foggy run, also a track worker was allegedly on the track.
For 1972, he got disqualified for being not an amateur.
