The Haldon Gold Cup is a Grade 2 National Hunt steeplechase in Great Britain which is open to horses aged four years or older. It is run at Exeter over a distance of about 2 miles and 1½ furlongs (2 miles, 1 furlong and 109 yards, or 3,520 metres), and during its running there are twelve fences to be jumped. The race is scheduled to take place each year in late October or early November.
The event is named after Haldon, a ridge of high ground in Devon on which Exeter Racecourse is located. The race became a limited handicap in 1996.
The 2005 edition was marred by the death of Best Mate, a three-time winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
