Beat Feuz (German pronun­cia­tion: [ˈbe.at ˈfɔɪts], born 11 February 1987) is a Swiss World Cup alpine ski racer, specializing in the speed events of downhill and super-G.

Born in Schangnau in the canton of Bern, Feuz made his World Cup debut at age 19 in December 2006, but missed all of the 2008 and 2009 seasons due to torn ligaments in his left knee. He secured his first two World Cup podia in March 2011, both in downhills at Kvitfjell, Norway. The first was a victory, backed up with a third-place finish the following day.

At his first World Championships in 2011 in Garmisch, Germany, Feuz finished ninth in the downhill. In the super combined, he finished second in the downhill portion, but missed a gate near the finish of the slalom course. He also competed in the team event for Switzerland, which lost to Sweden in the quarterfinals.
