Matteo Tosatto (born 14 May 1974) is an Italian former road racing cyclist.[1] He rode as a professional between 1997 and 2016, with his biggest personal victories coming in stages of the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France.[2] He contested 34 Grand Tours during his career, making him the rider with most participations[3] and finishing 28 of them.

Following his retirement, Tosatto became a directeur sportif with Team Sky, beginning midway through the 2017 cycling season.[4] He left the team following the 2023 season, and joined UCI ProTeam Tudor Pro Cycling Team in the same role for the 2024 season – ahead of their Grand Tour début at the 2024 Giro d'Italia.[5]
