Les Championnats du monde de cyclisme sur route se déroulent sur une course unique, généralement en fin de saison cycliste, tous les ans depuis 1927 pour les hommes, et depuis 1958 pour les femmes. Ces compétitions sont organisées sous l'égide de l'Union cycliste internationale, le pays organisateur changeant tous les ans. Les épreuves se courent sur circuit, et exceptionnellement, par équipe nationale (les épreuves cyclistes se déroulant le reste de l'année par équipes de marque). Les vainqueurs des épreuves obtiennent le droit de porter le maillot arc-en-ciel dans l'année quit suit. Depuis 1994, une course contre la montre donne également droit à un titre de champion du monde.
