Jeremy Ryan Bloom (born April 2, 1982) is an American Olympic skier and model.

Bloom was born in Fort Collins, Colorado and grew up in Loveland, Colorado. His father, Larry Bloom, is Jewish and a psychology professor at Colorado State University and his mother, Char, is a ski and fly fishing instructor. He has an older brother, Jordan, and an older sister, Molly.

Bloom grew up skiing at the Keystone Resort, where his mother was an instructor. He attended Loveland High School and was the star football player of their team, as well as a track state champion. Bloom joined the US Freestyle Ski Team at age 15, and was the #1 ranked men's freestyle skier in the world by age 19. He competed in the 2002 Winter Olympics at Salt Lake City, Utah, where he placed #9. Bloom also competed in the 2002 US Nationals, coming in at #1.

Bloom's experiences at the Olympics were documented in a special that aired on MTV. Bloom subsequently received a modeling job with Tommy Hilfiger Jeans.

Bloom is a former wide receiver and punt returner for the University of Colorado's Buffs football team. Bloom was declared ineligible to play by the NCAA for accepting skiing endorsements. The NCAA denied his eligibility after a long legal battle because according to NCAA regulations student-athletes are not permitted to endorse products. Exceptions are not given for endorsement deals earned in non-NCAA sports like freestyle skiing. However, Bloom continues to train for football and will attend the NFL’s combine after the 2006 Winter Olympics in Italy.
