**Pierre Trentin** (born 15 May 1944) is a retired French cyclist who was active between 1961 and 1984. He was most successful in sprint track events, in which he won two gold and two bronze Olympic medals,[1] as well as 11 medals at world championships. His only road title was junior champion of France in 1961. He won most of his tandem titles with [Daniel Morelon](/source/Daniel_Morelon), who was also his major rival in the individual sprint races.[2]

In the semi-final of the 1,000 metres sprint at the Tokyo Olympic Games, Trentin and [Giovanni Pettenella](/source/Giovanni_Pettenella) set an Olympic record for standing still - 21 minutes and 57 seconds.[3]

On 7 November 1966, Trentin was appointed a *Chevalier* (Knight) of the *[Ordre national du Mérite](/source/Ordre_national_du_M%C3%A9rite)*.[4]
