Mateja Pintar (born 16 July 1985)[1] is a Slovene para table tennis player, who won a gold medal in her class at the 2004 Summer Paralympics, and a bronze at the 2008 Games.

She teamed up with Dolinar and won the doubles competition at the European Championship, qualifying for the 2004 Summer Paralympics in Athens, Greece, at the same time.
