Dennis van Winden (born 2 December 1987 in Delft) is a Dutch professional road bicycle racer for UCI ProTeam Israel Cycling Academy, having previously ridden for Synergy Baku Cycling Project and Rabobank.[2]

Van Winden joined the Rabobank Continental Team in 2007 at the age of 19: he enjoyed success at the Under-23 level in his three seasons with the team, taking several wins including the national Under-23 time trial title and a stage of the Tour de l'Avenir, as well as a third-placed finish in the U23 Liège–Bastogne–Liège. He subsequently turned professional with Rabobank in 2010. In November 2012 he underwent surgery to correct a kink that had developed in an iliac artery in his right leg, however he contracted an infection from the surgery which resulted in months of further treatment, leaving him unable to return to competition until May 2013.[3] In November 2014 van Winden announced that he would join Synergy Baku Cycling Project for the 2015 season, with a focus on riding as part of the team's sprint train.[4] However, in May 2015 it was announced that he would rejoin his old team (now known as LottoNL–Jumbo) after four months with Synergy Baku.[5] In October 2016 he announced that he would join the Cycling Academy Team for the 2017 season.[6]
