The Haldon Gold Cup, a limited handicap, 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), with twelve fences. The race is scheduled to take place each year in late October or early November. The 2024 race, on 8th November, was worth £59,440 to the winner.

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.
