Joseph Truman (born 14 February 1997) is a British male track cyclist, representing Great Britain at international competitions. His first major medal came at the 2016 UEC European Track Championships in the team sprint.

At the 2018 Commonwealth Games, Truman won Silver in the team sprint event alongside Ryan Owens and Philip Hindes.

Truman participated in two seasons (2018/19 and 2019/20) of the 'JKA' Japanese Keirin racing series, a hugely popular, multi-million dollar gambling sport. A BBC documentary, 'The Secret World of Japanese Bicycle Racing: with Sir Chris Hoy' aired detailing the sport and following Truman's experiences while competing in Japan.

Truman is multiple British champion, including winning the Keirin Championship at the 2020 British National Track Championships. He had finished second in 2019. At the 2022 British National Track Championships in Newport, Wales he won another British title after winning the team sprint. He also won two silver medals at the same Championships.

Truman won Silver at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games in the Team Sprint. His Commonwealth Games ended early after a crash in the Keirin on day two of competition.

Truman holds the sea-level British record for the Kilometre Time Trial with a time of 59.09 seconds having stood since 2004.
