The Strade Bianche Donne (Strade Bianche Women), also named Strade Bianche Rosa by Italian media,[1] is an annual professional women's road bicycle racing event in Tuscany, Italy. Roughly a quarter of the route is raced on white gravel roads – unpaved country lanes winding through the countryside of the Chianti region – from which the event gets its name.[2]

First held in 2015, the race is part of the UCI Women's World Tour, cycling's top-tier female elite competition.[3] It is organized on the same day as the men's race, on the first or second Saturday of March, on much of the same roads but at a shorter distance. Dutch rider Annemiek van Vleuten was the first to win twice, with victories at the 2019 and 2020 races.
