Werner Josef Reiterer (born 27 January 1968 in Hohenems, Vorarlberg) is an Austrian-born retired discus thrower and shot putter from Australia, who represented the latter at two consecutive Summer Olympics, starting in 1988 (Seoul, South Korea). His best result was winning the title in the men's discus throw at the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Reiterer is an eight-time national champion in the discus throw.

In his book 'Positive' he admitted to five years of performance-enhancing drug use,[1] but claimed he only used them later in his career.[2]
