The Newlands Chase is a Grade 3 National Hunt steeplechase in Ireland which is open to horses aged five years or older. It is run at Naas over a distance of 2 miles (3,218 metres) and during the race there are 10 fences to be jumped. The race is scheduled to take place each year in late February or early March.

The race was run as a handicap until 1994, was not run in 1995, and returned in 1996 as a Listed race. The race was raised to Grade 2 status in 2003 and was downgraded to Grade 3 in 2017. It is currently sponsored by Paddy Power bookmakers and run under a sponsored title.
