The Settimana Ciclistica Lombarda (English: Lombardic Cycling Week) was an Italian cycle road race. In 2007, the race was organised as a 2.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour, previously being a 2.2 race. It was previously known as Giro Ciclistico Bergamasco and Settimana Ciclistica Bergamasca.

While usually held in the Spring, the 2011 edition was held in late August. The 2012 edition was cancelled after several sponsors withdrew. [1] When the race returned to the Europe Tour calendar in 2013, it was held in September. That was the last edition of the race.

It was announced that the race could be back in 2024. [2]
