Janez Gorišek (September 13, 1933 – March 21, 2023) was a Slovenian civil engineer, constructor, and architect. He held a degree from the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geodesy at the University of Ljubljana. His works were mainly constructions of ski jumping and ski flying hills worldwide; his best-known work being the Gorišek Brothers Ski Flying Hill (Letalnica bratov Gorišek) in Planica, Slovenia, which he developed with his brother Lado (1925–1997) and which was the world's second-largest ski flying hill.
