     Artur Jerzy Partyka (born July 25, 1969 in Stalowa Wola, Poland) is a former Polish high jumper and two-time Olympic medallist.
His father is Algerian, his mother is Polish. He is one of the greatest high jumpers of all time; he is one of only 16 high jumpers to clear the height of 2.38 m or more. With that height he set the Polish record in high jump. Known for his truly graceful execution of the Fosbury flop technique, he made clearing the bar look somewhat effortless.
He won the bronze medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona and the silver medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. He was also a three-time medallist at the outdoor World Championships: a two-time silver medallist (1993 and 1997) and a one-time bronze medallist (1995). He was also a silver medallist at the indoor World Championships in 1991. He also won two medals at the outdoor European Championships: silver in 1994 and gold in 1998. He won the gold medal at the indoor European Championships in 1998.
