Eline Jansen (born 8 March 2002) is a Dutch professional speed skater and cyclist, who rides for UCI Women's ProTeam VolkerWessels Women Cyclingteam.
As an infant, Jansen suffered from a hip condition requiring a pelvic osteotomy surgery, with her doctors considering it unlikely she would be able to walk. She pursued speed skating from an early age, picking up cycling as additional training.
Jansen transitioned fully from skating to cycling in 2024. In her debut season as a professional with VolkerWessels Women Cyclingteam, she won the young rider classification at the Tour of Britain Women, earning a long-term contract extension until 2027.
In 2025, after a strong classics season with five top 20 results in one-day races, Jansen won La Classique Morbihan in an uphill sprint finish
