Mick Ives (10 August 1939 – 18 January 2024) was an English professional racing cyclist from Coventry. Ives was the UCI World Masters Cycling Champion five times, and the British national cycling champion 62 times (with five championships won in 2007). He was at one time the manager of the Great Britain cycling team, and the National Coach, and won over 1000 races.
