Fabrizio Meoni (31 December 1957 – 11 January 2005) was an Italian off-road and rallying motorcycle racer.

[1] According to the rally's organizers, Meoni was considered "one of the greatest rally-raid champions ever".

He died at age 47 near Kiffa, Mauritania, caused by a crash on 11 January 2005 on the 11th stage of the 2005 Dakar Rally.

[citation needed] Since the competitors did not want to continue racing the next day, the 12th stage of the rally was cancelled for all motorcycles in honor of Meoni.

Jose Manuel Perez of Spain, another motorcyclist with the KTM Team, also died during the rally several days earlier.
