The 1938 Australian Track Cycling Championships were held in Melbourne from 15 to 20 December 1937. The decision to hold the 1938 championships in 1937 came as a surprise to many, including the Queensland Amateur Cyclists Union.[1] The Championships also doubled as the trials for the 1938 British Empire Games.[2]
