Melissa Hoskins (24 February 1991 – 31 December 2023) was an Australian track and road racing cyclist.

Hoskins died on 31 December 2023 after being struck by a vehicle allegedly driven by her husband, cyclist Rohan Dennis.

[1] In February 2018, she married cyclist Rohan Dennis,[4] and gave birth to a son at the end of that year.

[3] She started track cycling when she was fifteen years old following participation at a Western Australian Institute of Sport talent identification event.

[8] Hoskins competed for Australia with teammates Annette Edmondson and Josephine Tomic in the women's team pursuit at the 2012 Summer Olympics.

[10] At the 2015 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, Hoskins was part of the Australian quartet that won gold in the team pursuit, defeating a Great Britain team in the final that had taken the rainbow jersey in the previous four World Championships and that had been undefeated in major competitions during that period.

They were set back three days before the start of competition when four of their five selected riders – Hoskins, Ashlee Ankudinoff, Amy Cure and Georgia Baker – crashed when training on the Rio Olympic Velodrome.

[2] On 30 December 2023, Hoskins was struck by a grey ute on Avenel Gardens Road, Medindie, an inner northern suburb of Adelaide, and died a day later from her injuries in hospital.
