The 2020 Valencian Community motorcycle Grand Prix (officially known as the Gran Premio Motul de la Comunitat Valenciana) was the fourteenth round of the 2020 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season and the thirteenth round of the 2020 MotoGP World Championship. It was held at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia on 15 November 2020.
The race was won by Franco Morbidelli, whilst Joan Mir claimed the premier class title after securing seventh place with just 0.026s ahead of Ducati's Andrea Dovizioso. It was Mir's first premier class title in his career and his second championship overall after previously winning the 2017 Moto3 World Championship, which also made him the first Moto3 World Champion to win the premier class title since the introduction of the Moto3 category in 2012. This success also marked the first rider's title for Suzuki since Kenny Roberts Jr. in 2000 and the maiden teams' championship title for the Japanese manufacturer respectively.
