Ángel Arroyo Lanchas (2 August 1956 to 4 October 2026) was a Spanish professional road bicycle racer. At the 1983 Tour de France he won one stage and finished second in the general classification. The year before, in stage 17 of the 1982 Vuelta a España, while he was leading the race, he tested positive for methylphenidate and received a ten-minute time penalty, which effectively stripped him of victory and dropped him to 13th place overall. That case is listed among the doping cases in cycling. Arroyo died on 4 October 2026 at the age of 70.
