Henk Faanhof was a Dutch professional road bicycle racer from Amsterdam, born on 29 August 1922. He won one stage of the 1954 Tour de France. In 1947 he was disqualified in the Dutch National Road Race Championship after swapping bicycles with a teammate, because the rule against changing bicycles was new and he did not know about it. He also competed in three events at the 1948 Summer Olympics. He died in Amsterdam on 27 January 2015, aged 92, less than a week before two other members of the Dutch men's team pursuit squad, Gerrit Voorting and Joop Harmans.
