Gilles Delion is a French former road racer, born in Saint-Étienne on 5 August 1966, who was a professional from 1988 to 1996. His greatest achievements were winning the Giro di Lombardia in 1990 and the young rider classification at that year's Tour de France, where he finished fifteenth overall on his debut. He won a stage ahead of Stephen Roche from Brussels to Valkenburg at the 1992 Tour de France and took the Classique des Alpes the same year, then moved to the Castorama team managed by Cyrille Guimard.
