Miloš "Milan" Hrazdíra ([ˈmɪloʃ ˈɦrazɟiːra]; 23 November 1945 – 25 January 1990) was a Czech cyclist. He competed at the 1972 Summer Olympics in the 100 km team time trial and finished in 13th place.[1] He was the first cyclist to win the Tour de Slovaquie three times, in 1967, 1968 and 1973, a record repeated only by Jiří Škoda in 1985.[2] In 1982 he became the only cyclist in Czech history to win three national titles in one year, in the road race and individual and team time trial.[3] He also won the 1968 Rás Tailteann.[4][5]

He married Eva Hrazdíra (born 1949). They had a daughter Eva (born 1969) and two sons, Milan (born 1973) and Michal (born 1977). Both sons became cyclists, and Michal competed at the 2004 Olympics.[1][6]

The street Hrazdírova in the Brno-Bosonohy area of Brno is named after him.
