Giuseppe Olmo (November 22, 1911 – March 5, 1992) was an Italian road bicycle racer, who once held the word record for an hour's run on a bicycle, with 45.090km, until it was beaten in 1936.^[1]. He was born in Celle Ligure.

As with many Italian bicycle racers, after his retirement in the 1930s he began building bicycles, and founded Olmo (also known as Olmo Biciclette).^[2]
