Jeremiah Bishop (born March 9, 1976) is a professional mountain bike racer from the United States. He competes in ultra-endurance mountain bike racing, mountain bike stage racing, and the Olympic-discipline event of cross-country cycling.

In recent years, he has solidified his dominance as the United States' leading mountain bike stage racer. As a member of the globally dominant Topeak-Ergon Racing Team, he competes in the world's leading stage races including the Absa Cape Epic and BIKE Transalp. He has won all of the major US-based mountain bike stage races including American Mountain Bike Classic, Breck Epic, Pisgah Mountain Bike Stage Race, and Trans-Sylvania Epic. He is a multi-time winner of the National Ultra-Endurance Series.

Prior to focusing on ultra-endurance and stage racing, in 2008 Bishop earned USA Cycling National Championship titles in the disciplines of Short Track Cross Country and Marathon Mountain Bike. In the 2007 season, he held the number one position in the rider rankings published by USA Cycling. This achievement highlighted his combined successes in cross-country, short track, and marathon-distance cycling events. Also in 2007, Bishop earned six podium results in the USA National Championship Series, including a victory at the NMBS cross-country Showdown at Sugar in Banner Elk, North Carolina. That year, he also won the silver medal in the USA National Championship cross-country race in Mount Snow, Vermont.

In 2003, Bishop won the gold medal in the cross country mountain bike event at the XIV Pan American Games held in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. In 2004, he broke a three-year winning streak by Canadians at the NORBA National Series by winning the cross-country event held at Waco, Texas.

Bishop is an 18-time member of the USA Cycling National Team. The USA National Team is organized by USA Cycling, the national governing body, and is affiliated with the US Olympic Committee. This ad hoc team represents the US in international competitions, including Continental and World Championships, and the Pan American Games and Olympic Games. On eight occasions, Bishop has led the National Team, producing the team's highest achievement at competition, including his gold medal-winning performance in the 2003 Pan American Games and his eighth-place finish at the 2006 UCI World Championships held in Rotorua, New Zealand.

Bishop is featured in the award-winning documentary, Off Road to Athens. In 2008, he appeared as himself in the film Max VO2: the Potential Inside. Red Cloud Productions plans to tell Bishop's story in a film about his life.

Bishop is a member of the Canyon Topeak Racing Team. He resides in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
