2019 UCI Road World Championships – Men's road race

The Men's road race of the 2019 UCI Road World Championships was a cycling event that took place on 29 September 2019 in Yorkshire, England. The race was initially scheduled to be contested over 280 km, but due to flooding on the course, the race was reduced to 260.7 km. The wet weather also meant there was a limited broadcast coverage of the race.

For the first time in the race's history, a Danish rider won the world title as Mads Pedersen out-sprinted two other riders at the finish in Harrogate to take the rainbow jersey. The silver medal went to Italy's Matteo Trentin, while the bronze medal went to Stefan Küng of Switzerland.
