Fedor Iwan den Hertog (born April 20, 1946 in Utrecht) is a is a Dutch cyclist. He became Olympic champion of the Team 100k Time Trial in the 1968 Oympics along with Joop Zoetemelk, René Pijnen and Jan Krekels. He also won the Dutch Road Race Championship in 1977. As an amateur, he was a menace to other cyclists as he won races in a prolific manner. His most outstanding performance remains the Rheinland-Pfalz tour in Germany in 1974, when he won all eight stages, leaving the competition utterly devastated. As a pro, he managed one Tour de France stage win in 1977, but soon retired as he could not settle in the professional ranks.
