Megan Arens (born 14 March 2007) is a Dutch professional cyclist who rides for UCI Women's WorldTeam AG Insurance–Soudal. She won the junior time trial at the 2025 UCI Road World Championships in Kigali.

Career

In 2023, Arens won gold in the time trial at the European Youth Olympic Festival.

In 2025, her final year as a junior, Arens was successful in both one-day races, coming second in the junior versions of Ronde van Vlaanderen and Gent–Wevelgem, and time trials, winning world and national junior titles. Arens stated she focused primarily on time trials in training, as they had the shortest training sessions and she was busy studying for exams.

Arens signed a professional contract with Team Picnic–PostNL in October 2025, just after the world championships. In August 2026, after a strong debut professional season that included strong climbing performances at the Tour de Suisse, Arens made an immediate transfer to AG Insurance–Soudal.
