Luke Durbridge (born 9 April 1991) is an Australian road and track cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Team Jayco–AlUla.[4] Durbridge specialises in the individual time trial, road races, and various track cycling events.[5][6]

As well as winning the 2012 Australian National Time Trial Championships, Durbridge won both the time trial and the Australian National Road Race Championships in 2013. As a result, he became the first rider to win both titles in the same year at an elite level,[7] Jonathan Hall had previously won both in 1997 but not at an elite level.[8]
