Paul Michel Pierre Adrien Masson (11 October 1876 – 30 November 1944) was a French cyclist who raced at the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens.

In his first event at the Neo Phaliron Velodrome, the 2 km (1.2 mi) 6-lap sprint, there were only three other finishers, German Joseph Rosemeyer having dropped out early on.

Masson won the race by two seconds ahead of Stamatios Nikolopoulos of Greece, and fellow Frenchman Léon Flameng.

Both Greek riders collided early on it was left to Masson and his teammate Flameng, and Austrian Adolf Schmal, to battle it out.

Without further major successes, his best finish was a third place in the 1897 World Professional Sprint Championships in Glasgow, Scotland.
