Armand de Las Cuevas (26 June 1968 – 2 August 2018) was a French racing cyclist.
De Las Cuevas won races such as the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré, Clásica de San Sebastián and the (at the time) unofficial time trial world championship, Grand Prix des Nations. A time trial specialist, he won many prologues and individual time trials in the early 1990s. In the 1992 and 1994 Tour de France he finished in the top five of the prologue as well as the other individual time trials (ITT). He won a stage in the 1994 Giro d'Italia, an ITT, and placed in the top five of both other time trials. He was placed ninth in the general classification. In the 1994 Tour de Romandie he won the prologue and finished second overall.
He also competed in track pursuit racing, and was bronze medalist in the discipline at the 1990 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Japan.
De Las Cuevas retired to Réunion in 1999, where he founded a cycling school.
In 2018, he died by suicide in Réunion.
