John Tomac, born on 3 November 1967 in Owosso, Michigan, is an American former professional cyclist of Croatian ancestry who competed from 1985 to 2005. He was a versatile rider who competed in BMX racing, cross-country, road racing, trials riding and downhill racing, and he became a mountain bike racing icon in the late 1980s. He won the overall NORBA title by posting the highest combined points total across the cross-country, downhill and dual slalom championships, and retained it in 1989. At his retirement in 2005 he had won more mountain bike races than anyone in the sport. He was inducted into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame in 1991 and the United States Bicycling Hall of Fame in 2004.
