Dave Lloyd (born 12 October 1949),^[1] is a British former professional cyclist.

Lloyd began racing in 1969 and enjoyed a successful amateur career for several years, coming seventh in the Milk Race and competing in the 1972 Munich Olympics. In 1973 he turned professional with Raleigh, and over the next three years he won the national 5000m pursuit championship twice and set a national 50 mile road record. In 1976 a heart condition forced a three year break from cycling. On his recovery he reverted to amateur competition and over the next six years he was a dominant force in the British amateur sport, winning 125 of 133 races he took part in. In 1984 he returned to the professional sport, and finally retired from cycling two years later. Lloyd was a framebuilder for 13 years. He is now a cycling coach. He lives in south Wirral.
