Charles Pélissier (20 February 1903 – 28 May 1959) was a French racing cyclist, between 1922 and 1939, winning 16 stages in the Tour de France. The number of eight stages won in the 1930 Tour de France is still a record, shared with Eddy Merckx (1970, 1974) and Freddy Maertens (1976). In addition to his 8-stage wins that year, Pélissier also finished second place 7 times.{{cite web|url=http://www.letour.fr/2009/TDF/COURSE/docs/histo_09.pdf|title=Le Tour en chiffres Les autres records|language=French|publisher=LeTour.fr|access-date=2009-02-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090320093129/http://www.letour.fr/2009/TDF/COURSE/docs/histo_09.pdf|archive-date=2009-03-20|url-status=dead}} In the 1931 Tour de France after stage 5, he shared the lead for one day with Rafaele di Paco.{{cite book |last= McGann|first= Bill |author2=McGann, Carol |title= The Story of the Tour De France|year= 2006|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=jxq20JskqMUC|accessdate= 2008-03-17|publisher= Dog Ear Publishing|isbn= 1-59858-180-5|pages=118|quote="Leading up to the Pyrenees, Italy's ace sprinter Rafaelo di Paco dueled with France's Charles Pélissier for stage wins and the lead.
