Reto Burgermeister (born September 7, 1975) is a Swiss cross-country skier who has competed since 1994. Competing in three Winter Olympics, he finished sixth in the 4 × 10 km relay at Nagano in 1998 overall and ninth in the 15 km at Salt Lake City in 2002.
Burgermeister's best finish at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships was tenth in the 30 km event at Val di Fiemme in 2003. His best World Cup finish was second twice in Germany (2003: 15 km, 2004: 15 km + 15 km double pursuit).
Burgermeister earned sixteen individual victories in lesser events up to 30 km from 1998 to 2006.
