The Tour du Limousin is currently a four-day professional stage race held in Limousin, France in August. Limousin is a region in south-central France, situated largely in the Massif Central.

Being held in the Massif Central, the race is run over hilly roads. Traditionally the first stage starts in Limoges and the final leg finishes also at Limoges.

The first edition of the Tour du Limousin was held in 1968 and was open only to amateurs. It remained an amateur race through 1974.

It became a professional race in 1975, but the 1981 edition was an open race with both amateurs and professionals.

In 2005 the UCI classed the Tour du Limousin as a 2.1 race. It was upgraded to HC for 2011 and 2012, but in 2013 it was reclassed at 2.1. The Tour du Limousin is part of the UCI Europe Tour.
