A retractable tailgate assembly includes a truck that has a bed and a tailgate that is movably disposed on the bed. A retracting unit is integrated into the truck and the retracting unit is positioned beneath the bed. The retracting unit is mechanically coupled to the tailgate. The retracting unit is actuatable into an extending condition thereby facilitating the tailgate to be positioned between the closed position and the open position. Conversely, the retracting unit is actuatable into a retracting condition having the tailgate retracted beneath the bed thereby facilitating cargo to be loaded into the bed without being impeded by the tailgate. Additionally, the retracting unit includes a hydraulic piston attached to the tailgate.
