Eline Jansen (born 8 March 2002) is a Dutch professional speed skater and cyclist, who rides for UCI Women's ProTeam VolkerWessels Women Cyclingteam.[1]

As an infant, Jansen suffered from a hip condition requiring a pelvic osteotomy surgery, with her doctors considering it unlikely she would be able to walk.[2] She pursued speed skating from an early age, picking up cycling as additional training.[3]

Jansen transitioned fully from skating to cycling in 2024.[4] In her debut season as a professional with VolkerWessels Women Cyclingteam, she won the young rider classification at the Tour of Britain Women, earning a long-term contract extension until 2027.[4]

In 2025, after a strong classics season with five top 20 results in one-day races, Jansen won La Classique Morbihan in an uphill sprint finish[5][6]

Jansen was selected to ride in the 2026 Tour de France Femmes. On the final stage, Jansen was mistakenly directed off-course by race organizers, eventually finishing just five seconds within the time limit.[7] In August, Jansen signed a contract with Team SD Worx–Protime for the 2027 and 2028 seasons.[8]
