Silvio Fauner (born 1 November 1968 in San Pietro di Cadore, Province of Belluno) is an Italian former cross-country skier who competed from 1988 to 2006.

In May 2007, Fauner was named the head coach of the Italian national cross-country ski team, replacing his former ski-teammate Marco Albarello.

The Swedish investigative television show Uppdrag granskning claimed that Fauner had an exceptionally high hemoglobin level prior to a World Cup in Lahti in 1997.

The test result was confirmed and signed by International Ski Federation (FIS) official Bengt-Erik Bengtsson.

According to Bengt Saltin, former chairman of FIS medical committee, such an hemoglobin value is not possible to achieve without banned substances or blood doping.
