Valérie Grenier (born October 30, 1996) is a Canadian World Cup alpine ski racer. She started skiing in all disciplines and later specialized in giant slalom and super-G, with some occasional starts in downhill.
From St. Isidore, Ontario, between Ottawa and Montreal, Grenier has competed at five World Championships and two Winter Olympics. At the Junior World Championships in 2016, she won the gold medal in downhill and took silver in the super-G. In January 2022, she was named to Canada's 2022 Olympic team.
Grenier attained her first World Cup podium in 2023, a victory on January 7 at a giant slalom in Kranjska Gora, posting the best result in both runs. It was the first World Cup GS win by a Canadian in 49 years, since Kathy Kreiner won in early 1974 at Pfronten, West Germany. A year later, she defended the Golden Fox title, winning at the same venue once again.
