Auguste Mingels (24 March 1921 – 20 May 1973) was a Belgian professional motocross racer. He competed in the Motocross World Championships from 1947 to 1957. Mingels is notable for winning two consecutive F.I.M. 500cc European motocross championships in 1953 and 1954.[1] Les Archer, who won the 1956 European motocross championship, considered Mingels to be one of the best European motocross riders of his era.[2]
