Matteo Trentin (born 2 August 1989) is an Italian professional road cyclist, currently riding for Quick-Step Floors.

In 2014, Trentin took a prestigious victory on Stage 7 of the Tour de France, where he won the sprint by a few centimeters over Peter Sagan. Trentin had also won a stage of the same race on his maiden Tour start in 2013, winning in a sprint in Lyon against his breakaway counterparts. In October 2015, Trentin won Paris–Tours in record time for a race over 200 km, thus becoming the new Ruban Jaune.

In December 2006 Trentin tested positive for salbutamol and was subsequently handed a two-month suspension for the anti-doping rule violation.
