Jeff Schalk (born February 6, 1974 in Santa Cruz, California) is a professional mountain bike racer. He put his career as a structural engineer (practicing in San Francisco, California) on hold in 2006, moving to Washington, D.C. to pursue racing full time with the Trek Volkswagen East Coast factory team. Schalk's major career breakthrough occurred in 2007 when he won the Shenandoah 100, establishing himself as a primary name in the domestic MTB endurance scene. When the Trek and Volkswagen partnership dissolved at the end of 2008, the Trek Bicycle Corporation continued its support of Jeff by directly signing him to full sponsorship. Since his breakthrough in 2007, he has amassed 17 wins in 100-mile MTB racing. He now resides in Frederick, Maryland and specializes in ultra-endurance racing events.

Schalk's sponsors for the 2011 season include: Trek Bicycle Corporation, Bontrager, Fox Racing Shox, Shimano, PowerBar, Dumonde Tech Racing Oils, and ESI Grips.
