Laurent Dufaux is a Swiss former professional road cyclist who raced from 1991 to 2004. He won the Swiss national road race title in 1991 and, though a climber, took the hilly Zuri-Metzgete classic in 2000 by outsprinting Jan Ullrich and Francesco Casagrande. In the Grand Tours he finished fourth overall in the Tour de France in both 1996 and 1999 and second and third in the Vuelta a España in 1996 and 1997. He won his home region race, the Tour de Romandie, in 1998 and the Dauphine Libere in 1993 and 1994. After the Festina team was excluded from the 1998 Tour de France for doping he admitted using EPO that season and received a seven-month suspension together with teammates including Alex Zulle.
