Kenny Elissonde (born 22 July 1991) is a French professional road cyclist, currently riding for Team Sky.
Elissonde is a climbing specialist, having won the prestigious stage up the Alto de L'Angliru at the 2013 Vuelta a España.
In September 2016, it was announced that Elissonde would join Team Sky, from FDJ, for the 2017 season on a 2-year deal. He is the first French rider to be a member of the team since current Sky directeur sportif Nicolas Portal was part of the inaugural squad back in 2010.
