Joannes Matheus (Mathieu) Cordang (Blerick, December 6, 1869 – Swalmen, March 24, 1942) was a Dutch cycling pioneer.
As an amateur, Cordang became world champion in stayer racing in Cologne in 1895. He also won long-distance races that no longer exist, such as the Amsterdam-Arnhem-Amsterdam. In 1894, he set a world record for the mile on a tandem bicycle. A year later, he beat the Maastricht-Roermond express train in a "race"!
As a professional, he won 18 classics over 300 km.
