The Giro del Piemonte is a semi classic European bicycle race held in the Apennine Mountains, Italy. The race first took place in 1906. Since 2005, the race has been organised as a 1.HC event on the UCI Europe Tour. It is usually held a few days before of the more important race Giro di Lombardia.

As of 2007, the future of the race is uncertain because of sponsorship problems. The 2007 edition did not take place.
