Kian Emadi (born 29 July 1992) is a British track cyclist. He has represented Great Britain and England at international level, and is a three time British National Track champion.

Born and raised in Stoke-on-Trent, Emadi started cycling competitively at the age of 13, and raced in many disciplines (track, road and cyclo-cross), before concentrating on the sprint disciplines of track racing. Emadi moved to Manchester at the age of 18 as a member of the British Cycling Podium Programme.

He represented Great Britain at the 2013 UCI Track Cycling World Championships and England at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. He won his first senior medal, a silver in the team sprint, at the latter event.

After suffering a back injury in September 2014, which limited the amount of gym work he could do to attempt to secure a place in the British team sprint squad for the 2016 Summer Olympics, Emadi switched to the endurance squad.

Emadi attended St Peter's Church of England High School and then moved to St Joseph's Sixth Form School in Stoke to study for A levels.
