Felix Neureuther (born 26 March 1984) is a World Cup alpine ski racer from Germany.
Born in Munich-Pasing, Neureuther was raised in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria, and is a member of the German national ski team. He has competed in six World Championships and two Olympics. Neurether won a silver medal in the slalom at the 2013 World Championships and added a bronze medal in the team event. Previously, he had won a gold medal in the team event in 2005.
Neureuther won his first World Cup race in 2010, in a slalom at Kitzbühel, Austria.
