Eugène Van Roosbroeck (13 May 1928 – 28 March 2018) was a Belgian racing cyclist from Noorderwijk (Antwerp province). He won a gold medal in team road race at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, together with Lode Wouters and Leon De Lathouwer.[1][2]

After that Olympic race, the Belgian cyclists were not aware that there was a team competition, and returned to Belgium, missing the medal ceremony. Many years later, Van Roosbroeck heard that André Nelis was given a copy of his lost medal, and requested the Belgian Olympic Committee to get the medal that he never received, and was given one in 2010.[3]
