Katja Seizinger (born May 10, 1972 in Datteln, North Rhine-Westphalia) is a German former alpine skier, the most successful alpine skier of her country. She won three Olympic gold and two bronze medals. Three times she won the Alpine skiing World Cup championship (two in overall standings) and was also elected three times Germany's sportswoman of the year.

By winning the Olympic downhill races in 1994 and 1998, she became the first athlete of either sex to win consecutive Olympic gold medals in the same alpine speed-skiing event and also the first female alpine skier to defend any Olympic title.
