Fritz Schär was a Swiss road cyclist, born on 13 March 1926 in Kaltenbach and died on 29 September 1997 in Frauenfeld. In 1953 he won the first points classification ever awarded in the Tour de France, which places his name at the start of that competition's list of winners. The following year he finished third in the general classification of the 1954 Tour de France, a place on the final podium of the sport's best known stage race. He was also the Swiss national road race champion in 1953, the same season as his points classification victory.
