Filippo Ganna (born 25 July 1996) is an Italian track and road cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Ineos Grenadiers. He is a four-time world champion in the individual pursuit, and has won a total of eight medals at the UCI Track Cycling World Championships. In October 2020, he was named in the startlist for the 2020 Giro d'Italia.

Career
The son of former Italian Olympic sprint canoer Marco Ganna, Filippo Ganna burst onto the scene at the 2016 World Indoor Championships with an unusual negative splits pursuit style of starting very slowly and falling behind, then winding up the speed in the second half to win easily. Filippo Ganna rode for Italian amateur team Team Colpack, before turning professional with UAE Abu Dhabi in 2017. After two years with the team, he joined Team Sky ahead of the 2019 season.

Between November 2019 and February 2020, Ganna set a world record for the individual pursuit on three occasions, lowering the mark from over 4 minutes, 5 seconds to a time of 4 minutes, 1.934 seconds at the 2020 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Berlin.
