Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (French pronunciation: [polin fɛʁɑ̃pʁevo]; born 10 February 1992) is a French cyclist who rides for UCI Women's World Tour team Visma–Lease a Bike. In addition to road racing, Ferrand-Prévot has also competed in mountain biking, cyclo-cross and gravel cycling during her career, winning the world title in each discipline.

In mountain biking, Ferrand-Prévot won multiple times at the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships, taking cross-country (2015, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023), marathon (2019, 2022) and short track (2022, 2023) titles. She won the cross-country at the French National Mountain Bike Championships in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2019. At the 2024 Summer Olympics, she won the gold medal in the cross-country mountain biking event.

In road cycling, she was the youngest competitor in the women's road race at the 2012 Summer Olympics, in which she finished eighth. In 2014, she won the road race at the UCI Road World Championships. She won the French National Road Race Championships in 2014 and 2015, and the French National Time Trial Championships three times between 2012 and 2014. After concentrating on other cycling disciplines, she returned to the road in 2025 – winning both Paris–Roubaix Femmes and Tour de France Femmes.

In cyclo-cross, she won the 2015 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships, and the French National Cyclo-cross Championships in 2014, 2015 and 2018. In gravel cycling, she became the inaugural winner of the UCI Gravel World Championships in 2022.

During the 2015 season, aged just 23, she became the first person in the history of cycling to simultaneously hold the world road title, world cyclo-cross title and world cross-country mountain bike titles.
