The '''Killiney Novice Chase''' is a Grade 3 National Hunt chase in Ireland. It is currently run at Punchestown Racecourse in early January, over a distance of about 2 miles and 3½ furlongs (2 miles, 3 furlongs and 146 yards).
The race was run at Leopardstown Racecourse over a distance of 2 miles and 3 furlongs from its first running in 1995 to 2017. The race changed venues in 2018 due to the creation of the Leopardstown Dublin Festival. This new meeting "combines the feature races from Leopardstown's current three stand-alone meetings in late January and mid-February".<ref>{{cite web|title=HRI announce new February Leopardstown festival|url=https://www.rte.ie/sport/racing/2017/0615/883005-hri/|website=Horse Racing Ireland|date=2017-06-15|accessdate=3 March 2018}}</ref>
Prior to 2010, the race was titled the '''Paddy Fitzpatrick Memorial Novice Chase'''. In 2010, it was called the '''MCR Chase''', in 2011, it was called '''Tote Pick Six Killiney Novice Chase''' and in 2012 and 2013, the race was sponsored by Boylesports and run as the '''Boylesports.com Bet On Your Mobile Novice Chase'''. Boylesports continued to sponsor the race in 2013 when the title reverted to the '''Killiney Novice Chase'''. From 2016, it was sponsored by the Ladbrokes Coral bookmaking group. It was downgraded from Grade 2 to Grade 3 in 2017.<ref>{{cite web|title=Enhancements to National Hunt Pattern for 2016/2017 Season|url=http://www.hri.ie/press-office/press-releases/enhancements-to-national-hunt-pattern-for-2016/2017-season/|website=Horse Racing Ireland|accessdate=6 November 2016|archive-date=7 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161107155221/http://www.hri.ie/press-office/press-releases/enhancements-to-national-hunt-pattern-for-2016/2017-season/|url-status=dead}}</ref> The race was sponsored by Total Event Rental for the 2018 and 2019 runnings.{{citation needed|date=January 2022}} There was no race sponsor in 2020.
