Jean-Marie Leblanc (born 27 July 1944) is a French retired professional road bicycle racer who was general director of the Tour de France from 1989 to 2007, when he reached pensionable age and was succeeded by Christian Prudhomme.

He gained his best results in criteriums, small tours, and single stage races, like the Grand Prix d'Aix-en-Provence (1968, 1st), the Circuit d'Armorique (1969, 1st), and the Four Days of Dunkirk (1970, 2nd).

[1] During Leblanc's tenure as race direcrtor, doping was rife at the Tour, despite attempts to police teams and riders that broke the rules.

[7] Leblanc was president of the AIOCC (Association Internationale des Organisateurs de Courses Cyclistes)[8] from 1989 through 2004.
