Nacer Bouhanni (born 25 July 1990) is a French professional racing cyclist, who rides for UCI Professional Continental Team Cofidis. A sprinter, he was the winner of the 2012 French National Road Race Championships. Although his first Grand Tour was in 2012, his real breakthrough was in 2014 when he won three stages and the points classification in the Giro d'Italia. In August 2014 it was announced that Bouhanni would leave FDJ and join Cofidis on a two-year deal from 2015.

Later that season he got his breakthrough win by winning the National Road Race Championships ahead of his teammate Arnaud Démare. He also rode his first Grand Tour at Vuelta a España, where his best finish was second on stage 10.
2013 season started well with a stage win in the Tour of Oman. Afterwards he rode Paris–Nice, where he got a stage win and the leader jersey, however he crashed out of the race the very next day.
