Jacques Michaud (born 11 July 1951) is a French former professional road racing cyclist whose career is remembered chiefly for one mountain stage of the 1983 Tour de France. On the eighteenth stage he was first over the Col des Aravis, the Col de la Colombiere and the Col de Joux Plane, and he finished 66 seconds ahead of the next rider. Over his career he started the Tour de France five times and completed the course on all five occasions, with an eighteenth place in the general classification as his best overall result. The stage win came on a day that crossed three named Alpine climbs, which is why it remains the result by which he is known.
