Willy Kemp (28 December 1925 to 18 October 2021) was a Luxembourgish professional road racing cyclist. He came from a wealthy home and studied economics, and after becoming the amateur 1947 World University Cycling Champion his parents agreed that he should turn professional. He won the Luxembourg national title in 1949 and rode the Tour de France every year between 1948 and 1957, ten starts in total, winning a stage in the 1955 race. He died at the age of 95, and before his death he was noted as the oldest living professional cyclist from Luxembourg.
