Peter Winnen is a Dutch former road racing cyclist, born in 1957, who made his name as a climber in the 1980s. He rode the road race at the 1980 Summer Olympics, finishing 26th, and turned professional in 1981. Of his fourteen professional victories, the best known are two stages finishing on Alpe d'Huez in the Tour de France, and he also won a national championship.
