Thobias Montler (born 15 February 1996) is a Swedish athlete specialising in the long jump. He won a bronze medal at the 2017 European U23 Championships.

In addition, he finished fourth at the 2018 European Championships. Montler was a silver medalist in long jump at the 2022 World Indoor Championships. His personal bests in the event are 8.27 metres outdoors (Monaco 2021) and 8.38 metres indoors (Belgrade 2022). He was born Thobias Nilsson Montler, but legally changed his name to omit Nilsson in 2019. Among other reasons, the whole name did not fit on athlete's bibs or plane ticket, and neither had he ever used the Nilsson name personally. He hails from Landskrona.

Montler won two NAIA national championships in the men's indoor and outdoor long jump with the Keiser Seahawks in West Palm Beach, Florida. Since 2015, he has been dating Lisa Lilja, a Swedish sprinter.
