Marta Cavalli (born 18 March 1998) is an Italian racing cyclist, who currently rides for UCI Women's WorldTeam Team Picnic PostNL. In 2018, she won the Italian National Road Race Championships.[3] She competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics, in the road race – finishing 8th overall.[4]

In 2022, Cavalli won two of the Ardennes classicsAmstel Gold Race and La Flèche Wallonne Féminine. She then finished second at Giro Donne. In July 2022, she was named as one of the pre-race favourites for the first edition of the Tour de France Femmes,[5] however Cavalli crashed heavily on stage 2 and had to abandon the race.[6] This impacted her, with Cavalli not immediately returning to the same form as previously.[7][8] Two further injuries in 2024 disrupted her full return to racing, with Cavalli announcing that she would leave the FDJ–Suez team at the end of the season to join Team Picnic PostNL.[7][8]
