Le Samyn is an annual single-day road bicycle race in Belgium, held usually in late February or early March. The event was first held in 1968 as a men's race. Since 2012, there has been men's edition (Le Samyn des Hommes) and a women's edition (Le Samyn des Dames). It is named after José Samyn, the race's first winner, who died in 1969.

Johan Capiot holds the men's record and Chantal van den Broek-Blaak holds the women's record for most victories, each with three.
