Jean Bourlès (17 August 1930 to 30 March 2021) was a French professional road racing cyclist. He was born in Pleyber-Christ and rode as a professional between 1954 and 1965, a span of twelve seasons. His best known result came in the 1957 Tour de France, where he won stage 16. A stage victory in the Tour is the most visible achievement open to a rider who is not a contender for the overall title, and it is the result for which Bourlès is remembered. He was born on 17 August 1930, lived to the age of 90 and died on 30 March 2021.
