Chloe Hosking (born 1 October 1990) is an Australian professional racing cyclist for Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) team Wiggle High5. Hosking has represented Australia at junior and then senior levels since 2007. Following success in a number of international events she turned professional in 2010. She competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the Women's road race.
Hosking was born in Bendigo, Victoria, and moved to the suburb of Campbell in the Australian Capital Territory. As a child she played field hockey and did rock climbing at a national level, however following an injury she asked her father, a keen cyclist, to help get her into cycling. She began cycling competitively in 2002 at the age of twelve, and first represented Australia in 2007 at the age of seventeen.
Hosking started as a track cyclist, but changed her focus to road racing events in 2007. She now specialises in road cycling events, being a strong sprinter and a capable climber. Outside of cycling Hosking is a student, studying for a Bachelor of Communications degree at Griffith University, with the aim to specialise in journalism.
Hosking has competed in national cycling events throughout Australia since 2004, and began representing Australia in international events in 2007. As a junior Hosking competed for the Canberra Cycling Club, mainly riding in track cycling events and achieving considerable success, including winning the Women's Under 19 Scratch race at the 2008 Australian National Track Championships. Despite this success on the track, in 2007 she shifted her focus to road cycling events. Over the next couple of years she would become a road racing specialist, with an emphasis on sprint challenges in bunch finishes to races.
