The 55th running of Liège–Bastogne–Liège classic cycling race in Belgium was held on Thursday 22 April 1969.

Eddy Merckx won the race, his first of five victories in the monument classic.

Five riders were in an early breakaway, two of which were teammates of Eddy Merckx, the young Belgian who had already won every major classic in the spring of 1969, apart from Paris–Roubaix.

At 98 km from the finish, Merckx broke clear from the pack on the Stockeu and combined with his two teammates Roger Swerts and Vic Van Schil in the front of the race.
