Edit Miklós (born 31 March 1988) is a Hungarian-Romanian World Cup alpine ski racer, a specialist in the speed events of Downhill and Super-G. Since 2002, she has trained in Austria.

Born in Miercurea Ciuc, Romania, into an ethnic Hungarian family, Miklós began skiing at age five. By the age of 12, she participated in World Cup races for children, and made her World Cup debut in December 2005 at age 17.

She got injured just before the 2006 Winter Olympics thus she had to miss the Games, while in Vancouver in 2010 she fell in the downhill and suffered injuries that kept her away from skiing for three months. The following year, Miklós finished 18th in both the downhill and super-G at the 2009 World Championships in Val d'Isère. She achieved her best World Cup result a few weeks later, 26th in a super-G at St. Moritz.

Until 2010, Miklós competed for Romania, but after she obtained the Hungarian citizenship and the relation between her and the Romanian Ski Federation broke down, she opted to race for Hungary. The Romanians did not want to let her go, but pursuant to the rules of the International Ski Federation (FIS), if a skier changes her citizenship according to her nationality, it is the sole discretion of the FIS to decide whether they give the race permit or not. The Hungarian Ski Association started to lobby to allow Miklós to compete for Hungary, which resulted the FIS finally giving its permission on 17 January 2011.
