Alfredo Martini (18 February 1921 – 25 August 2014) was an Italian cyclist and coach from Sesto Fiorentino, north of Florence. Professional from 1941 to 1957, he won a stage in the 1950 Giro d'Italia and was later the coach of the Italian national team.[1][2] He also rode in the 1949 Tour de France.[3] In 2021, in honour of Martini's 100th birthday, the one-day race Per sempre Alfredo was first held; the race finishes in Martini's home town of Sesto Fiorentino.

Under his 22-year tenure as head coach, Italy got six gold medals at the Road World Championships with 5 different cyclists (Francesco Moser, Giuseppe Saronni, Moreno Argentin, Maurizio Fondriest once each and Gianni Bugno twice), plus seven silver and as many bronze medals.
