Essex Police said suspect Romario Henry, 30, will appear before Colchester Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
Tour de France cyclist Cavendish said his family were “extremely distressed” after the break-in at his home in Ongar Essex on November 27.
Cavendish was recovering from significant injuries from a crash at a track event in Belgium at the time.
Henry, of Bell Green in Lewisham, south-east London, has been charged with two counts of robbery.
Police said two 27-year-old men – one from Gillingham, in Kent, and one from Camberwell south-east London – were also arrested last week.
They have been released on bail until January.
