The FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 1941 in alpine skiing were the tenth, but unofficial, edition of the competition, organized by the International Ski Federation (FIS), and were held on 1–9 February 1941 in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy. The FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 1941 were held simultaneously. In 1946, the FIS canceled the results because attendee nations included only Axis or neutrals.

Due to World War II, there was a nine year hiatus of the official competition until the 1948 Winter Olympics.
