Roman Kejžar (born February 11, 1966 in Kranj) is a Slovenian long-distance and marathon runner.^[1] He is a three-time Olympian, and a 2004 national marathon champion. He also set both a national record and a personal best time of 2:11:50 at the 2000 Turin Marathon, earning him a spot on the Slovenian team for the Olympics.^[2]

At age thirty-four, Kejzar made his official debut for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where he placed sixty-second out of a hundred runners in the men's marathon, with a time of 2:26:38, fourteen seconds behind Tanzania's Zebedayo Bayo. He displayed a stellar performance at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, when he finished fifty-fourth in the marathon for the second time, posting his best Olympic career time of 2:23:34.

Eight years after competing in his first Olympics, Kejzar qualified for his third Slovenian team, as a 42-year-old, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by placing nineteenth and reaching an A-standard time of 2:17:26 from the 2007 Berlin Marathon.^[3] He successfully finished the race in sixty-seventh place by nine seconds behind Mexico's Francisco Bautista, with a time of 2:29:37.^[4]
