Fedor Iwan den Hertog (born April 20, 1946 in Utrecht) is a Dutch former racing cyclist. He became Olympic champion of the Team 100k time trial in the 1968 Olympics along with Joop Zoetemelk, René Pijnen and Jan Krekels. He also won the Dutch National Road Race Championship in 1977.

As an amateur, Den Hertog was a menace to other cyclists as he won races in a prolific manner. He won two editions of the British Milk Race, in 1969 and 1971. His most outstanding performance remains the Rheinland-Pfalz tour in Germany in 1974, when he won all eight stages, leaving the competition utterly devastated.

As a pro, he managed one Tour de France stage win in 1977, but soon retired as he could not settle in the professional ranks.
