Mattias Hargin (born 7 October 1985) is a Swedish World Cup alpine ski racer.[1] Born in Stockholm, he competes mainly in slalom, and is the younger brother of Janette Hargin (b. 1977), who also raced for Sweden. Hargin was married to Swedish alpine free-skier Matilda Rapaport, who died in an avalanche in 2016.

He finished fifth in the slalom at the 2009 World Championships and competed for Sweden at the 2010 Winter Olympics in the slalom, finishing in 14th place.[2]

In January 2011, Hargin made a strong comeback in a World Cup slalom in Zagreb to finish third. He was the last qualifier at 30th after the first run, but had the best time in the second run to attain his first World Cup podium. Hargin was the runner-up in a World Cup slalom at Val-d'Isère in December 2013, his best World Cup result to date.[3] His first World Cup win came in January 2015 at Kitzbühel.[4]
