Merlin Cycles is a UK-based online and bricks-and-mortar retailer of cycling goods. It is based in Chorley, Lancashire, Great Britain.

Merlin Cycles was initially a mail order business started in June 1993 by John Moss in the spare bedroom of his house in Whittle Le Woods near Chorley.

A few months later the company opened a shop premises in Ormskirk, Lancashire. In 1998 Merlin Cycles moved to larger shop premises in Leyland.

Merlin Cycles spent ten years in the Leyland premises. During this time they began designing their own mountain bikes, including the Rock Lobster steel hardtails and then the Malt aluminium hardtails.

From an original concentration on the UK mountain bike market, recent years has seen the company switch to catering equally for the increasing road cycling market.

In 2008 the company moved to their current shop, warehouse and office premises in Buckshaw Village, Chorley.
