The Vélodrome National de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines is a velodrome in Montigny-le-Bretonneux, France.[1] It was built between 2011 and 2014 and hosted the 2015, 2022 UCI Track Cycling World Championships, and the 2016 UEC European Track Championships. It hosted the cycling venue in the 2024 Summer Olympics.[1] The track is 250 m long and 8 m wide, a metre wider than most other tracks.[2]

The velodrome is 36km from the Olympic Village, and is close to other 2024 Summer Olympics venues: Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines BMX Stadium, Golf National, Colline d'Élancourt (mountain biking), and the Palace of Versailles.[1]
