Lloyd Augustin Biden Hildebrand[1] (25 December 1870, in Tottenham, United Kingdom – 1 April 1924, in Levallois-Perret, France) was a British-born racing cyclist who competed in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Hildebrand was still a British citizen in 1900, although he lived in France for much of his life and married a Frenchwoman.[2] He participated in cycling at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, winning the silver medal in the men's 25 kilometre race.[3][4][5][6] as well as the bronze medal 1900 Track Cycling World Championships.

Historically, his Olympic success was regarded as a British medal, but in 2024 his success was reassigned to France by the International Olympic Committee.[7]
