Pentti Armas Uotinen (born September 27, 1931 in Orimattila ; † November 3, 2010 in Lahti ) was a Finnish ski jumper who was internationally active from 1951 to 1957.

At the Olympic Winter Games in Oslo in 1952 , he finished eighth on the large hill. The greatest success of his career was the overall victory in the Four Hills Tournament 1956/57 , when he landed with a wafer-thin margin of 0.7 points over Eino Kirjonen and also won the first competition in Oberstdorf .
