Laurent Brochard (French pronunciation: [lɔʁɑ̃ bʁɔʃaʁ]; born 26 March 1968) is a retired professional road racing cyclist from France. In 1997 he won a stage of the Tour de France and became world road champion in San Sebastián, Spain.
Brochard was a runner and started cycling competitively at 19. He started with Castorama and became part of Festina cycling team.
