Peter Prevc (Slovene: [ˈpéːtəɾ ˈpɾéːwt͡s]; born 20 September 1992) is a Slovenian ski jumper. He is the winner of the 2016 Ski Jumping World Cup, having finished as the runner-up in 2014 and 2015. His other career accomplishments include winning the 2016 Four Hills Tournament, the 2016 Ski Flying World Championships, three consecutive Ski Flying World Cup titles (2014, 2015 and 2016), silver and bronze medals at the 2014 Winter Olympics, silver and bronze at the 2013 Ski Jumping World Championships, bronze at the 2014 Ski Flying World Championships, and bronze with the Slovenian national team at the 2011 Ski Jumping World Championships.

Prevc is a former world record holder, being the first athlete in history to land a jump of 250 metres (820 ft), which still stands as the Slovenian national distance record. An expert in ski flying, he has 38 jumps over 230 m (750 ft) and 12 jumps over 240 m (790 ft); these totals are by far the most of anyone in both categories. On 20 March 2015 in Planica, Prevc became one of the few ski jumpers in history to achieve a "perfect jump", with all five judges giving him the maximum style points of 20. On 17 March 2016, also in Planica, Prevc achieved the most individual wins in a single season, with 14; this was followed on 20 March with 15, now the all-time record.
