Jean-Luc Crétier (born 28 April 1966 in Albertville, Savoie) is a retired French World Cup alpine ski racer.

He was one of the four members of the "Top Guns" team, created and trained by Serge Guillaume outside the mainstream of the French Alpine Ski Federation, along with Luc Alphand, Franck Piccard, and Denis Rey.

He was the fourth Frenchman to win the Olympic downhill, but the first in thirty years, since Jean-Claude Killy in 1968.

It was the only victory of Crétier's international career; however, he achieved five World Cup podium finishes, three in the two months prior to his Olympic title.

[1] His final World Cup race was just ten months after Nagano; he incurred a career-ending knee injury at Val Gardena in December 1998.
