The Amstel Gold Race is a road bicycle race held (mostly) in the southern part of the province of Limburg, The Netherlands. Since 1989 it has been among the races included in season long rankings tables, as part of the UCI Road World Cup (1989–2004), the UCI ProTour (2005–2008) and the current UCI World Ranking. It is the most important road cycling event of the Netherlands.

The name does not directly refer to the river Amstel, which is far away from the course, but to the sponsor, the Amstel brewery.
