Marino Vigna (born 6 November 1938) is an Italian retired cyclist who won a gold medal in the team pursuit at the 1960 Summer Olympics.[1][2]

After the Olympics, he became a professional road racer and won one stage of the Giro d'Italia in 1963; the Tre Valli Varesine and one stage of the Tour de Romandie in 1964; the Trofeo Laigueglia in 1965, and the Milano–Torino in 1966.[3]

He later became a sports director for cycling teams, directing the Faema team in the 1969 Giro d'Italia when their star Eddy Merckx was expelled for a doping violation.[4]
