The Tour of Flanders (Dutch: Ronde van Vlaanderen), formerly the Tour of Flanders for Women, is the women's sister edition to the men's Tour of Flanders. It is an annual road bicycle racing event in Flanders, Belgium, held in early April. It is held on the same day as the men's race, on much of the same roads but at a shorter distance. Belgian rider Lotte Kopecky holds the record with three wins, followed by Dutch riders Mirjam Melchers and Annemiek van Vleuten, German Judith Arndt and Italian Elisa Longo Borghini with two wins each.
The event has been held annually since 2004 on the same day as the men's race. From 2004 to 2015 it was part of the UCI Women's Road World Cup. Since 2016, the race has been included in the UCI Women's World Tour, cycling's top-tier female competition. Since the first edition, organisers have included more climbs and extended the race gradually from 94 km in the first edition to 163 km in 2024.
Since 2021, the women's race has shared the Tour of Flanders name with the men's race. To distinguish between them, they are now categorised as the 'Men Elite' and 'Women Elite' editions.
