Jason Queally (born 11 May 1970) is an English Olympic cyclist from Chorley, Lancashire. He won an Olympic Gold at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.
While a student at Lancaster University, he represented Lancaster and British Universities in water polo. He took up competitive cycling aged 25. In 1996, he was nearly killed in an accident at the Meadowbank cycling track in Edinburgh, where an 18-inch sliver of the wooden track entered his chest cavity via his armpit.
Despite being the reigning Olympic Champion, he missed out on selection for the 1 km time trial at the 2004 Summer Olympics, competing only in the Team sprint, where the Great Britain team were eliminated in the first round by Germany (the eventual winners), despite posting the second fastest time of the competition.
