Charles Crupelandt (born in Wattrelos, 23 October 1886 - Roubaix, 18 February 1955) was a French professional road bicycle racer. He won some stages in the Tour de France, but his biggest success was when he won the 1912 and 1914 editions of Paris-Roubaix. The last cobbled section (300 meters) of the race, just before the Velodrome of Roubaix is entered, is named after him: Espace Charles Crupelandt.
