Tessa Worley (born October 4, 1989) is a World Cup alpine ski racer and non-commissioned officer^[1] from France. She competes in all five alpine disciplines and specializes in giant slalom.

Worley was born in Annemasse, in the département of Haute-Savoie. Her father Steve is Australian and her mother Mad is French. She grew up skiing year-round, in France and New Zealand, and her home ski area is the resort of Le Grand-Bornand.^[2]

Worley made her World Cup debut at age 16 on February 4, 2006, and finished in 29th place in a giant slalom race in Ofterschwang, Germany.^[3] She finished in fifth place in the first race of the 2009 World Cup season, a giant slalom in Sölden, Austria in October 2008. A month later she won her first World Cup race (and first podium) in a GS at Aspen, Colorado, USA.

Early in the 2011 season, Worley won three consecutive GS races before January. Worley won a gold medal in the nations team event at the 2011 World Championships in Garmisch, Germany, where she was the bronze medalist in the giant slalom.

As of December 2012, she has seven World Cup victories (and 11 podiums), all in giant slalom.

At the 2013 world championship in Schladming, Tessa Worley won both legs of the Giant Slalom, claiming the gold medal.
