Dwars door Drenthe (English: Across Drenthe) is an elite men's road bicycle racing event held annually in the Drenthe, Netherlands and sanctioned by the Royal Dutch Cycling Union.

Since 2010, the men's event is UCI 1.1 rated and is part of the UCI Europe Tour. In 2011, the race was held as part of an expanded 2.1 rated Ronde van Drenthe, in which Dwars door Drenthe was held the day before the Ronde itself.[1] The two races reverted to a stand-alone format for the 2012 edition.[2]
