Johannes Høsflot Klæbo (born 22 October 1996) is a Norwegian cross-country skier who represents Byåsen IL. He holds multiple records, among them for being the youngest male skier in history to win the FIS Cross-Country World Cup, the Tour de Ski, a World Championship event, and an Olympic event in cross-country skiing.

During the 2019–20 World Cup season, Klæbo became the most successful male sprinter in World Cup history in terms of individual race victories and set a new record for the most overall sprint titles, with 4. He is currently the most successful male overall race winner in the competition's history.

Klæbo won three gold medals at the 2018 Winter Olympics, in his debut Olympic appearance. As of 2026, he is a 13-time Olympic medalist, with eleven gold. At the 2026 Winter Olympics, he broke the records for the most gold medals won at a single Winter Olympics and most career gold medals won by any Winter Olympic athlete, and now trails only swimmer Michael Phelps on the list of athletes with the most all-time Olympic gold medals.
