Markus Wasmeier (born 9 September 1963 in Schliersee, Bavaria) is a German former professional skier.
In 1985, at Bormio, he surprisingly won the World title of Giant Slalom.
Wasmeier won a total of 9 Alpine skiing World Cup races, starting with two victories on 9 February 1986, in the Combination and Super-G of Morzine.
His greatest victory, however, was the surprising double gold medal in both Giant Slalom and Super-G at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. That surprising result gained him the title of "Sportsman of the Year" in Germany.
