Hendrikus Andreas "Hennie" Kuiper (born 3 February 1949) is a Dutch former professional road racing cyclist.
His career includes a gold medal in the Olympic road race at Munich in 1972, becoming world professional road race champion in 1975, as well as winning four of the five "Monument" classics.
He rode the Tour de France 12 times, finishing second twice and winning the stage to Alpe d'Huez on two occasions.
Kuiper, Ercole Baldini and Paolo Bettini are the only riders to have won both the Olympic road race and the world professional road race.
Kuiper was born in Denekamp, in Overijssel province.
His serious introduction to the bicycle was to and from school in Enschede.
He started participating in junior races from 14 and from 19 to 23 he won 39 times as an amateur.
The climax of his amateur career was gold in the Olympic road race in Munich in 1972, riding the final 40 km alone.
He also won the Tour of Britain (Milk Race) that year.
Kuiper turned professional in 1973 with the small German team Haro-Rokado.
His career took off in 1975 when he signed for the Dutch team, Frisol, where he got more chances to shine and formed a partnership with José De Cauwer (who worked for Kuiper in races) that lasted until 1980.
The 1975 season saw Kuiper become world champion at Yvoir in Belgium, winning a tough race over 260 km, with 21 ascents of a 3 km climb.

1981 saw him win the Tour of Flanders and the Giro di Lombardia while in 1983 he won Paris–Roubaix, his 11th attempt at the hell of the north.
In 1985, at 36, he won Milan–San Remo.
