Surf Coast Classic is a one-day cycling race held in Australia since 2020 initially called Race Torquay. The race is held a few days before the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race. The men's race was rated as a 1.1 event on the UCI Oceania Tour, before being upgraded to 1.Pro event. In 2024 the race was renamed as the Geelong Classic for Women and Surf Coast Classic for men.

In 2026, the men's race and women's race moved to the UCI ProSeries and UCIWomen's ProSeries respectively. The 2026 races were cancelled at the last minute, owing to a high risk of bushfires.
