Jenny Wolf (born January 31, 1979 in Berlin) is a German ice speed skater who is the current world record holder, at 37.00 seconds, for the women's 500 m and, 74.42 seconds for women's 500 m x 2 in long track speed skating. On March 10, 2007 at the ISU World Single Distances Speed Skating Championships in Salt Lake City, Utah she broke the world record for the women's 500 m in her second race. She finished sixth on the 500 m at the 2006 Winter Olympics of Turin, and tenth on the same distance in Salt Lake City.

Wolf won the Speed Skating World Cup in the 2005/2006 season on the 500 m. Her favorite distance is the 100 m, but this is not an Olympic event.

Wolf won the silver medal at the 500m at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, five hundredths of a second after South Korean Lee Sang-Hwa over two races. Wolf was the world record holder in the event at the time.

On 13 November 2010, Wolf won her 40th 500 m World Cup race, thereby breaking Bonnie Blair's record, who won 39 World Cup races on that distance.
