A saddle pillar for bicycles and the like comprises a support element fixable to the bicycle frame and having a head on which a device for supporting and clamping the saddle is mounted in an adjustable position. The latter comprises a lower support and an upper bracket between which a part of the load-bearing structure of the saddle is interposed, and clamping means which urge the lower support and the upper bracket against each other and against the head of the support element to clamp the part of the load-bearing structure of the saddle. The head of the support element is provided with adjustment means for effecting a variation of the position of the device for clamping the saddle to the head of the support element after the release of the clamping means. The clamping means preferably comprise a lever device for rapid clamping and release, while the adjustment means comprise a micrometric adjustment device.
