Guido Messina (born 4 January 1931) was an Italian road and track cyclist. On track he won five world titles in the individual 4000 m pursuit between 1948 and 1956, and a gold medal with the Itlaian team at the 1952 Olympics (individual pursuit became an Olympic event only in 1964, when Messina retired from cycling).
