Belgium at the UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships is an overview of the Belgian results at the UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships. The only times that cyclo-cross racers appear in proper national selections of one or multiple sportsmen are the yearly UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships. Because of this, all Belgian national cyclo-cross teams (either elite or younger teams) only compete as such during one day per year. Since 2017, Belgium's national manager of the men's elite selection is Sven Vanthourenhout.[1]
As of 30 January 2022, Belgium obtained most gold medals in the men's elite race and the men's races for under-23. Belgium's most successful competitor in elite races was Eric De Vlaeminck, with 7 gold medals. The nation's first medal, a silver, was earned by Firmin Van Kerrebroeck in the men's elite race in 1957.
