Verner Blaudzun (born 23 March 1946) is a Danish former cyclist who represented Denmark at the Summer Olympics. He won the bronze medal in the men's team time trial at the 1976 Montreal Olympics held in Canada,[1] alongside Gert Frank, Jørgen Hansen and Jørn Lund.

He came fourth in the same even at the 1968 Olympics, and came 42nd 4 years later in the 1980 men's road race.[2]
