Alessandro Ballan is an Italian former professional road bicycle racer who most recently rode for UCI World Tour team BMC Racing Team. He is best known for winning the World Road Race Championships, in 2008.

His nickname, Bontempino, is a diminutive reference to Guido Bontempi, to whom he bears a resemblance.
