Ingolf Mork (born June 4, 1947 in Molde ; † February 1, 2012 ) was a Norwegian ski jumper .

His relatively curious results in the Four Hills Tournament are particularly remarkable . In 1970/71 he won three individual competitions, but was only sixteenth in Innsbruck and thus missed the overall victory. A year later he took the overall victory without having won any of the four competitions. Mork benefited from the early departure of the Japanese around the three-time winner of the day Yukio Kasaya , who wanted to prepare for the Olympic Winter Games in Sapporo at home.

On the occasion of the pre-Olympic competitions on February 13, 1971, he won the large hill in front of Akitsugu Konno . At the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo himself, he took fourth place in jumping from the small hill, making him the best non-Japanese. In 1973 he was honored with the Holmenkollen Medal .
