Stig Strand (born 25 August 1956) is a Swedish former alpine skier and a sports commentator on alpine skiing.[1][2][3] He is known for being sports commentator for SVT during many years after his career, and a few years on Eurosport,[4] but ended TV commenting in 2016.[5] He has also worked as a political advisor for the Swedish Social Democratic Party, and as a hotel owner.

Although successful, he was during his active years always in the shadow of his childhood neighbour Ingemar Stenmark.[1] However, in the 1982–83 season, Strand also had 110 points like Stenmark in the slalom World Cup.
