Angelo Conterno (March 13, 1925 - December 1, 2007) was a professional road racing cyclist during the 1950s and early 1960s who is most famous for becoming the first Italian to win the Vuelta a España. At the 1956 Vuelta after winning Stage 2 and capturing the golden jersey, Conterno, in one of the closest Vuelta's in history, outlasted Spaniard Jesus Loroño to win the overall title by just 13 seconds. The following year, Loroño won the 1957 Vuelta a España without Conterno in attendance.

Earlier in his career, Conterno wore the maglia rosa for a day when he won the second stage of the 1952 Giro d'Italia. Beyond his three stage victories in the Giro d'Italia, he won the 1959 Züri-Metzgete.
