Iris Mary Bent (later Iris Dixon, 1931–2022) was an Australian cyclist. She won sixteen Australian national titles and was crowned Australian Champion of Champions at least three times. During Bent's career, women's cycling was not yet an event at the world championships or the Olympics. In 1951, she was described by one paper as "the best women's track cyclist in the world today". After the birth of her second child, she stopped racing but she returned to competitive racing in her mid-fifties in the 1970s. Bent was inducted into Cycling Australia Hall of Fame in 2016. In 2025, the Dixon Veloway, a cycling highway, in Melbourne was named for her.
