Julia Dujmovits (born 12 June 1987) is an Austrian snowboarder.

Dujmovits won silver in the parallel giant slalom at the 2013 FIS Snowboarding World Championships.[1] She won a gold in the same discipline at the 2013 Winter Universiade.[2] At the Sochi Olympics in 2014, she became the first Austrian to win gold in snowboarding.[3] She was present at the Kaprun Funicular Disaster on 11 November 2000, a fire which claimed the lives of 155 people including Julia's friends and teammates. "Since there was a snowboarding event on that day and a big line at the cable railway, my brother suggested taking the gondola instead, a decision which ultimately saved our lives."[4]
