Henri Lemoine (18 June 1909 – 21 September 1991) was a French cyclist. He competed at the 1928 Summer Olympics in the 2000 m tandem sprint and finished in fifth place. He then turned professional and competed up to 1958 in road racing and motor-paced racing. In the latter discipline he won six national titles, in 1938, 1942, 1945, and 1951–53, as well as three bronze medals at the UCI Motor-paced World Championships in 1951–1953.[1] On 23 July 1931 he set a world record in one kilometre from standing start at the Buffalo Stadium (1'10.80).[2]

In road races, he finished second in the Critérium des As in 1930 and 1931, 11th in the 1932 Critérium Internationale, and 20th in the 1933 Grand Prix des Nations.[3][4]
