Ferdinand Bracke (born 25 May 1939) is a Belgian former professional road and track cyclist who is most famous for holding the World Hour Record (48.093 km) and winning the overall title at the 1971 Vuelta a España in front of Wilfried David of Belgium and Luis Ocaña of Spain.
Bracke was born in Hamme East Flanders, Belgium, on 24 May 1939.
A rouleur and time trialist, he emerged as an amateur in 1962 by winning the tenth stage of the Peace Race.
In May of the same year he won the Grand Prix des Nations, a time trial race.
He turned pro on 26 September 1962, joining the Peugeot-BP-Dunlop team headed by Gaston Plaud.
He also became world pursuit champion on the track in 1964 and 1969.

On 30 October 1967 he recorded the hour record with 48,093 kilometers at the Olympic Velodrome in Rome, becoming the first cyclist to reach the milestone of 48 kilometers.
The record, broken the following year by Ole Ritter, remained the best performance on track below 600 meters of altitude for a long time.
