Henk Lubberding, born on 4 August 1953 in Voorst, is a Dutch former professional road racing cyclist who was a professional from 1977 to 1992. After finishing third in the 1976 Tour de l'Avenir as an amateur, he joined the TI-Raleigh team of Peter Post and stayed in teams directed by Post for his whole career. In 1978 he won the Dutch road race championship and a stage of the Tour de France, finishing eighth overall and best young rider. A strong climber despite his height, he won the national title again in 1979 and finished eighteenth in that year's Tour. He then became a key helper, supporting Jan Raas to the 1979 world title and Joop Zoetemelk to the 1980 Tour de France win, and wore the yellow jersey in 1988. He retired after 1992 with 58 victories.
