Paralympic alpine skiing has been competed at the Winter Paralympic Games since they were first held in 1976. Events include men's and women's downhill, super-G, giant slalom, slalom, and combined.

Since the 2006 Winter Games in Turin, a three-category system is used. The three categories are: sitting, standing, and visually impaired.[1][2]
