Antonin Rolland, born on 3 September 1924 in Sainte-Euphémie, Ain, is a French former professional cyclist who was active from 1946 to 1963. He won stages in the Tour de France and in the Giro d'Italia. His best Tour de France came in 1955, when he led the general classification for twelve stages but, because his team captain Louison Bobet wanted to win a third consecutive Tour, did not receive help in defending the lead. Rolland ended that Tour in fifth place overall, the best Tour de France result of his career.
