Jean Rosellen (born September 13, 1891 in Cologne , † January 16, 1952 in Kleve ) was a German racing cyclist .

Before the First World War, Jean Rosellen was one of the best German road drivers, after the war he turned to standing up sports . In his 19-year (1910–1929) professional career, Rosellen won numerous road races, mainly in Germany, including 1910 Around Cologne and 1911 the Berlin – Cologne race over 600 kilometers. He had his best season in 1913 when he won four major German races. The victory in Rund um Berlin , however, was revoked because a control signature was missing.

After the war, Rosellen started as a stayer with the pacemaker Willi Heßlich . In 1923 he became German champion in this discipline. In 1929 he retired as a stalker, attempting to set the pace, but without great success. On January 16, 1952, Rosellen was involved in a traffic accident in Kleve. During an argument with his opponent in the accident, he suffered a stroke and died a little later in hospital.
