Charles Pélissier (20 February 1903 – 28 May 1959) was a French racing cyclist professional between 1922 and 1939 who won 16 stages in the Tour de France. The number of eight stages won in the 1930 Tour de France is still a record shared with Eddy Merckx (1970 1974) and Freddy Maertens (1976). In addition to his 8 stage wins that year Pélissier also finished second place 7 times. In the 1931 Tour de France after stage 5 he shared the lead for one day with Rafaele di Paco.
