Gonzalo Molina (born 5 May 1995) is an Argentine male BMX rider, representing his nation in international competitions. He competed in the time trial event at the 2015 UCI BMX World Championships. [3]

Molina was selected as part of the Argentine cycling team for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, competing in the men's BMX race.
