Pierino Baffi (15 September 1930 – 27 March 1985) was an Italian professional road bicycle racer. In 1958 he won stages in all three of the Grand Tours, becoming the second cyclist (after Miguel Poblet) to win stages in all three of the Grand Tours in the same year. As of 2016, this has only been repeated by Alessandro Petacchi in 2003. Baffi's son Adriano also became a professional cyclist.
