The 2010 British motorcycle Grand Prix was the fifth round of the 2010 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. It took place on the weekend of 18–20 June 2010 at Silverstone. It was the first event Valentino Rossi missed since his debut in 1996, due to a shin bone fracture at Mugello in practice for the previous Grand Prix.
Jorge Lorenzo dominated the MotoGP race, finishing nearly seven seconds clear of a battle for second place. Andrea Dovizioso won the battle for second, with Ben Spies passing countryman Nicky Hayden for third on the last lap to get his first ever MotoGP podium, and Casey Stoner recovered from a terrible start which left him last at the first corner to finish fifth ahead of front row starter Randy de Puniet.
