Dylan Casey (born April 13, 1971, in Walnut Creek, California) is a former American professional cyclist who competed alongside Lance Armstrong on the 1997 squad. His professional tenure lasted from 1990 until 2003, during which he achieved 12 significant race victories, highlighted by a gold medal at the 1999 Pan American Games. Casey earned the title of Professional National Time Trial Champion twice and is among a select group of three Americans to claim National Championships in both the Time Trial and Individual Pursuit within the same calendar year (1999).

After retiring from competitive cycling, Casey moved into the tech industry. Between 2003 and 2011, he worked as a Product Manager at Google, playing a role in major initiatives including Google+ and the development of Google's distinctive black navigation bar. He subsequently joined Path in late 2011 before assuming the position of Senior Director of Consumer Platforms at Yahoo! in May 2013.

Although Casey qualified for the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, an injury prevented his participation. His cycling career highlights also encompass stage victories at the 1997 Tour of Ohio and 89er Stage Race, overall triumph at the 1998 Tour of Tucson, and multiple stage wins in 2000 during events such as the Redlands Classic, Tour of Luxembourg, and Four Days of Dunkerque. In addition, he secured third place overall at the Tour of the Netherlands in 1999 and competed in that year's Tour of Spain.

A native of California, Casey completed his secondary education at Las Lomas High School in Walnut Creek in 1989 and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Communications Information Systems from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1994.
