The Tour de Picardie was a professional multi-stage cycle road race that was held between 1936 and 2016 in Picardy, France.[1] In its last twelve editions, it was organised as a 2.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour.

The race was called Tour de l'Oise from its founding in 1936 until 1999, when it was renamed the Tour de Picardie et de l'Oise, and then the Tour de Picardie in 2000, which it remained until its demise. It is not to be confused with a different race, also called the Tour de Picardie (or Grand Prix du Courrier Picard), which was staged from 1946 to 1965.
