Juho Pekka Niemi (born Yliniemi, 14 November 1909 – 21 December 1993) was a Finnish cross-country skier who competed at the 1936 Winter Olympics. He won a bronze medal in the 18 km event and placed eighth over 50 km. His biggest success came at the 1937 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, where he won a complete set of medals: a gold in the 50 km, a silver in the 4 × 10 km relay and a bronze in the 18 km. He also won the 50 km race at the 1938 Holmenkollen ski festival. Niemi won only one medal at the national championships, a silver in the 50 km in 1935.
