Hubert Sevenich (1879 – 7 May 1905) was a German track cyclist who competed in stayer competitions.[1]

After competing as an amateur cyclist, Sevenich became a professional cyclist in 1905. He won the Grand Prix of Verviers and the Dortmund "Spring Prize" in 1905.[2] His sixth stayer competition as a professional was the Grand Prix of Brunswijk on 7 May 1905. During the race a pacer's motorcycle collided with others on the track and Sevenich was crushed to death against the track's guardrail.[3] He was buried in the cemetery of his home-village, Stolberg.[4][5]
