Jessica Pilz (born November 22, 1996) is an Austrian professional rock climber.

She started competing in 2010, both in lead climbing and bouldering. From 2011 to 2015, she won six international youth competitions in lead climbing. In 2014, she also won both the European Youth Cup and Youth Championships in bouldering.

In 2017 she won the Winter Military World Games both in lead climbing and bouldering. In 2018, she won the Lead Climbing World Championships in Innsbruck, by climbing the route a few seconds faster than the former World Champion, Janja Garnbret. She rarely climbs outdoor, but she does it with gratifying results. In January 2016, during a short trip to Oliana (Spain), she was able to redpoint two 8c+ (5.14c) routes.[1]

In 2019 Pilz placed 10th in the Combined World Championships, qualifying her for the 2020 Olympics,[2] where she finished 7th.[3]
