The FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 1939 were held 12–15 February at Kasprowy Wierch in the Western Tatras, south of Zakopane, Poland. Due to World War II, these were the last official championships for nine years, until the 1948 Winter Olympics.
Josef Jennewein, Wilhelm Walch and Helga Gödl were Austrians but after the Anschluss in 1938 they were citizen of Nazi-Germany. The medals which they did win do still count for Germany. Hellmuth Lantschner also was an Austrian but he did change to Germany in 1935 and did start for the German Ski Federation since that time.
