Guy Périllat Merceroz (born 24 February 1940) is a former alpine ski racer from the resort of La Clusaz, Haute-Savoie, one of the top ski racers of the 1960s.
At age 20, Périllat won a bronze medal at the 1960 Winter Olympics in downhill, and the gold medal in the combined, a non-Olympic event at the time, but a World Championship title. The following year, Périllat won both the classic downhills of Wengen and Kitzbühel, at the time only the third racer to have accomplished the feat in the same season.
The count now includes ten racers, with Austrians as the only multiple double-winners; Toni Sailer twice (1956–57), and Franz Klammer three consecutive (1975–77). The others are Christian Pravda of Austria (1954), Jean-Claude Killy of France (1967), Karl Schranz of Austria (1969), Roland Collombin of Switzerland (1974), Ken Read of Canada (1980), Franz Heinzer of Switzerland (1992), and Stephan Eberharter of Austria (2002).
