László Gellér (born August 5, 1944 in Tótkomlós ) is a former Hungarian ski jumper .

Gellér began his international career in 1961 at the Four Hills Tournament . In the first two years, however, he only ended up in the rear. It was not until the Four Hills Tournament in 1963/64 that he was able to improve his performance and achieved a top placement for the first time in Innsbruck with 10th place. At the 1964 Winter Olympics, which took place in Innsbruck a short time later , he competed in both ski jumping competitions. From the normal hill he reached the 42nd place with jumps on 74 m, 74.5 m and 72 m. From the large hill, he reached 34th place with jumps on 87 m, 82 m and 77.5 m. At the Four Hills Tournament in 1967/68 he achieved the best individual placement of his career with ninth place in Bischofshofen . At the Olympic Winter Games in 1968 he was again in the squad and reached 34th place in jumping from the normal hill. He jumped from the large hill to 19th place. At the Four Hills Tournament in 1968/69 , as in 1965/66, he achieved the best result in the overall tournament with 41st place. After two more years in the Four Hills Tournament, in which he mostly only achieved middle or lower placements, he ended his active ski jumping career in 1971.

With his brother Mihály Gellér, László Gellér had another successful ski jumper in the family.
