Alcide Cerato (11 February 1939 – 23 August 2026) was an Italian professional road cyclist and businessman. Professional from 1961 to 1964, he notably finished third in the 1962 Giro di Lombardia. He also rode in the 1962 and 1963 Giro d'Italia.[1]

In 1964, his career was cut short by a bad crash in the Giro di Lombardia, and he went on to take over his father-in-law's funeral home business, and soon after founded the company Impresa San Siro in Milan.[2]

Cerato died in Olbia on 23 August 2026, at the age of 87.[3]
