The Honeysuckle Mares Novice Hurdle is a Grade 1 National Hunt hurdle race in Ireland which is open to mares aged four years or older. It is run at Fairyhouse Racecourse over a distance of about 2 miles and 4½ furlongs (4,023 metres), and during its running there are ten hurdle to be jumped. The race is for novice hurdlers, and it is scheduled to take place each year in late March or early April at Fairyhouse's Easter meeting.

Known as the Mares Novice Hurdle Championship Final until 2023, the race was then named in honour of 2019 winner Honeysuckle on her retirement.

The race was awarded Grade 3 status in 2004, raised to Grade 2 in 2011 and then to Grade 1 in 2013.
