Claudia Lichtenberg (née Häusler; born 17 November 1985 in Munich) is a German former professional cyclist, who now works as a coach for German amateur team RSV Irschenberg.

Born in Munich, Lichtenberg won the Tour de l'Aude in 2009,[2] a race which, at the time, was called the "women's Tour de France",[3] and also the Giro d'Italia Femminile.

She competed for Germany at the 2016 Summer Olympics where she finished in 31st place in the women's road race.[4]

On the first day of the 2017 Giro d'Italia Femminile, Lichtenberg announced her retirement from professional road racing at the end of the 2017 season written in a Wiggle High5 rider blog.[5]
