Per ("Pelle") Holmertz (born March 3, 1960) was a freestyle swimmer from Sweden. He won a silver medal in the 100 m Freestyle at the 1980 Summer Olympics but did later receive the gold medal after it was revealed that Jörg Woithe had used illegal drugs. He is not a sibling of the accomplished swimmer Anders Holmertz, although they are both from the same town. In 2006, Pelle Holmertz was inaugurated to Berkeley University's Hall of Fame for his numerous wins and records for the school's swimteam in the early eighties.
