Cesare Benedetti (born 3 August 1987) is an Italian professional road bicycle racer who rides for UCI WorldTeam Bora–Hansgrohe.
Born in Rovereto, Benedetti has competed as a professional since 2010, competing for the Team NetApp team since turning professional. He was also a member of the GS Gavardo Tecmor and De Nardi teams as an amateur, and also spent the second half of the 2009 season as a stagiaire with the Liquigas team.
Benedetti, and Team NetApp, made their Grand Tour début at the 2012 Giro d'Italia, where Benedetti exceeded the team's expectations of a top ten stage placing, by taking fifth place during the sixth stage of the race. Benedetti had been part of an eleven-rider breakaway at the start of the stage, but after Androni Giocattoli–Venezuela's Miguel Ángel Rubiano went clear, Benedetti remained with another three riders to the end of the stage.
He was named in the start list for the 2016 Tour de France and the 2016 Vuelta a España.
