Josef "Sepp" Walcher (December 8, 1954 – January 22, 1984) was an Austrian World Cup alpine ski racer.

He specialized in the downhill event and won the gold medal at the World Championships in 1978 at Garmisch, West Germany.

[1][2] Born in Schladming, Styria, Walcher made his World Cup debut in December 1972, two days after his 18th birthday.

A week prior to his win at the world championships in 1978, Walcher won consecutive downhills at Kitzbühel, Austria.

^ Walcher made the downhill team in 1980 but was dropped the day before the race, replaced by alternate Leonhard Stock, who won the gold medal.
