Gernot Reinstadler (24 August 1970 – 19 January 1991) was an Austrian ski racer. He was regarded as among the most promising young talents of the Austrian downhill team of the early 1990s.

While preparing for the Lauberhorn race, Reinstadler encountered a loss of control upon approaching the finish S (German: Ziel-S), resulting in a high-speed collision with the safety nets. During the accident, one of his skis became ensnared. Consequently, Reinstadler sustained a pelvic fracture along with critical internal injuries, leading to severe bleeding of his organs onto the ski slope.
He died later the same night at a hospital in Interlaken.
Following Reinstadler's death the 1991 Lauberhorn race was canceled, and enhanced safety measures were implemented for the following year's race.
