Valentin Paret-Peintre (born 14 January 2001) is a French professional road racing cyclist who rides for UCI WorldTeam Soudal–Quick-Step. His older brother Aurélien Paret-Peintre is also a professional cyclist.
A climbing specialist, Paret-Peintre turned professional with AG2R Citroën Team in 2022, and took his first victory the following year at the 2024 Giro d'Italia, winning stage 10 from the breakaway.
