Georges Ronsse (4 March 1906 to 4 July 1969) was a Belgian road bicycle racer who raced between 1926 and 1938 and won two national cyclo-cross titles and two world road championships. Besides those titles he won several classic races, including the 1927 Paris-Roubaix and the 1927, 1929 and 1930 editions of the now-defunct Bordeaux-Paris. He took his first world championship in 1928 in Budapest with a lead of 19 minutes and 43 seconds over the second-placed Herbert Nebe, the largest winning margin in road world championship history. In 1932 he capped his career with a win on stage 4 of the Tour de France, and after retiring he served as manager of the Belgian national team at the Tour.
