Cyrille Van Hauwaert (16 December 1883 to 15 February 1974) was a Belgian professional road bicycle racer who was known for winning classics: Bordeaux-Paris in 1907 and 1909, and Milan-San Remo and Paris-Roubaix, both in 1908. In 1909 he became the first Belgian cyclist to win a stage in the Tour de France, and he also led the general classification for one day. In 1908, before winning Milan-San Remo, he had travelled by bike from Belgium to the start in Milan as a form of training.
