Jochen Wilhelm (born February 1, 1943 - † July 8, 2017 in Erfurt ) was a German cycling coach.

In 1966 Jochen Wilhelm received his trainer diploma from DHfK Leipzig . In the years that followed, the athletes he coached won 255 medals. Among his protégés at the RSC Turbine Erfurt and in the state performance center of Thuringia were the two-time Olympic champion Kristina Vogel , sprint world champion René Wolff , the team sprint world champions René Enders and Robert Förstemann as well as the multiple stage winner of the Tour de France Marcel Kittel and time trial world champion Tony Martin . For the junior sprinter cup of the Association of German Cyclists (until 2010 Albert Richter Cup ) he devised a competition mode , which is therefore called the Erfurt pool sprint . In 2003 he was named "Exercise Leader of the Year" by the Landessportbund Thuringia .

In 2008 Wilhelm retired after 42 years as a coach; his successor was René Wolff. When he switched to the Netherlands as national coach the following year, Wilhelm stepped in as interim coach until Tim Zühlke , also a former protégé, replaced him in 2010.

In 2017 sprint professor Jochen Wilhelm died of cancer at the age of 74.
