Linus Gerdemann (born September 16, 1982 in Münster) is a German professional road bicycle racer.
After riding on amateur teams Team Winfix and Team AKUD Arnolds Sicherheit, in 2005 he became a professional rider for the Danish Team CSC after a recommendation from Jens Voigt, signing on for a 2-year contract. In his first year as a pro, he won the 7th stage of the UCI ProTour race Tour de Suisse and had the Leader's Jersey in 4 Jours de Dunkerque.
In late 2005 he agreed to a contract with rival UCI ProTour team T-Mobile, starting from 2007. This got Team CSC owner Bjarne Riis to release Gerdemann from his contract at the end of 2005.
On Saturday July 14, 2007 he won his biggest victory to date, the seventh stage of the Tour de France from Bourg-en-Bresse to Le Grand-Bornand. The stage win gave him the yellow jersey, as well as the white jersey. He was also awarded the combativity award for this stage.
