Lars Michaelsen (born 13 March 1969) is a Danish professional road bicycle racer who rides for Team CSC. He got his break through in his second year as a professional, when he won the 1995 edition of Gent-Wevelgem. In the 1997 Vuelta a España he won stage 1 and wore the leader's jersey for three days (stage 2, 3 and 5). In 2002 he equalled the best ever Danish result in Paris-Roubaix when he finished fifth, a result he would duplicate in 2005. In the 2006 Paris-Roubaix he was once again in the group of favourites, but he helped team mate Fabian Cancellara win the race and finished 19th himself.
