La Flèche Wallonne Féminine is a professional women's bicycle road race held each year in Wallonia, Belgium, in April.
It is part of the UCI Women's World Tour, cycling's season-long competition of top-tier races, in which it is the second-oldest single-day event after the Trofeo Alfredo Binda in Italy.
