Adam Małysz [ˈadam ˈmawɨʂ] (born December 3, 1977) is a Polish ski jumper. He was born and still lives in the town of Wisła in southern Poland. Małysz has won 38 World Cup competitions; in the history of ski jumping only Finn Matti Nykänen has won more (46). Małysz was the only ski jumper ever to win the World Cup 3 times in row. He is also the most titled ski jumper in history of the individual World Championships.

His career began in 1995. For two consecutive seasons, he was moderately successful in the Ski Jumping World Cup (7th and 10th in the overall standings respectively). He re-emerged in the 2000/01 season when he won the Four Hills Tournament and the world championship in the individual normal hill while finishing second in the individual large hill. 2002 saw Małysz claim a silver in the individual large hill and a bronze in the individual normal hill at the Salt Lake City Olympic Games. In 2003 he won both world championships titles and added another Ski Jumping World Cup (his third). Four years later in 2007 he surprised his competition with a streak of wins at the end of the season, including the world championship and overtook the young Norwegian Anders Jacobsen in World Cup standings, achieving his fourth victory and straighten Matti Nykänen record winning four times world cup ever.

His success contributed to his enormous popularity not only among ski jumping fans but throughout Poland as well. Most of all he has won three World Cups in a row, an unprecedented achievement. Additionally, Małysz is the only five-time winner of the ski jumping event at the Holmenkollen ski festival (1996, 2001, 2003, 2006 and 2007). He earned the Holmenkollen medal in 2001 for his ski jumping successes (shared with Bente Skari and Thomas Alsgaard).

He is married and has one daughter, Karolina.

For his sport achievements, he received the Order of Polonia Restituta:
Officer's Cross (4th Class) in 2002,
Commander's Cross (3rd Class) in 2007.
