Alois "Wisel" Kälin (born 13 April 1939) is a former Swiss Nordic skier who competed in the 1960s and 1970s.

Kälin was the first Swiss to win a Winter Olympic medal in Nordic skiing, earning his award on 11 February 1968, four days before his fellow countryman Josef Haas would earn a bronze in the 50 km cross country event.

He is also the last person to earn medals in both cross-country skiing and the Nordic combined at the Winter Olympics.
