Klaus Sulzenbacher (born February 3, 1965 in Kitzbühel,Austria) is a former Nordic combined skier.

Between 1983 and 1991 he won 14 World Cup competitions, and also won the World Cup twice. At the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, he won silver in the individual competition, and bronze in the team competition. At the 1991 Nordic skiing World Championships he finished second in the individual competition, and won in the team event. At the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, he won bronze medals in both the individual and team competitions.

As Austria's first successful Nordic skier, Sulzenbacher is regarded as corner stone for the successes of both Mario Stecher and Felix Gottwald. With four Olympic medals, he is among Austrias most successful Olympic competitors. Following his retirement from competition, he now works as a physiotherapist in Stams.
