Barry Waddell (born 21 October 1936, Western Australia) is one of Australia's best-known cyclists of the 1960s (he was a professional rider from 1963 to 1970). Waddell won a record 5 straight Herald Sun Tours from 1964 to 1968. Although best known as a road cyclist, Waddell was in fact an "all-rounder", having also won a number of national track titles. He won the Australian national road race title in 1964 and 1968. He won the General Classification in the Herald Sun Tour five years in a row (1964-1968) when the Sun Tour was at its most gruelling, covering 1200 miles (1920 km) in nine days. Waddell took fastest-time honours in the Melbourne-to-Warrnambool road race no fewer than three times and won the Sir Hubert Opperman trophy twice, breaking Opperman's record from Adelaide to Melbourne
