The 2020 Czech Republic motorcycle Grand Prix was the fourth round of the 2020 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season and the third round of the 2020 MotoGP World Championship. It was held at the Brno Circuit in Brno on 9 August 2020. Fabio Quartararo was the defending MotoGP race winner who aimed for his second consecutive Grand Prix win, having won the previous round.
In the MotoGP class, Brad Binder took his first victory in the premier class, the first for a South African rider, the first non-European rider to win since Australian Jack Miller in the 2016 Dutch TT, as well the first rookie to win a Grand Prix since Marc Márquez in 2013. With KTM's victory, this race marks the first time a non-Japanese and Italian constructor won a Grand Prix since German constructor König won the 1973 Yugoslavian Grand Prix. In addition, the KTM used the WP Suspension, which is marked the first non-Öhlins suspension to win a race since 2009 Valencian Grand Prix.
