The Prix Paul de Moussac is a Group 3 flat horse race in France open to three-year-old thoroughbred colts and geldings. It is run at Chantilly over a distance of 1,600 metres (about 1 mile), and it is scheduled to take place each year in June.
The event was established in 1909, and it was originally called the Prix de La Jonchere. It was named after La Jonchere, a successful racehorse in the 1870s. It was initially run at Longchamp over 1,400 metres, and it used to be open to horses aged three or older.
The Prix de La Jonchere was abandoned throughout World War I, with no running from 1915 to 1918. It was held at Le Tremblay for a period during World War II, from 1943 to 1945. Its distance was extended to 1,500 metres in 1966, and it increased to 1,600 metres in 1971. The event was restricted to three-year-olds in 1972.
The race continued to be staged at Longchamp until 1986. For several years thereafter it took place at Chantilly (1987–89, 1991, 1993), Saint-Cloud (1990, 1992) and Maisons-Laffitte (1994). It returned to Longchamp in 1995, and it was transferred to Chantilly in 1997.
In 2006 the event was renamed in memory of Paul de Moussac (1924–1995), a leading racehorse owner and breeder.

Rodosto was a French Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He showed very good form as a juvenile in 1932 when he won the Prix Herod and was placed in both the Prix Robert Papin and the Prix Morny. In the following spring he won the Prix de La Jonchere and then became the first horse to win both the 2000 Guineas and Poule d'Essai des Poulains. He missed the Epsom Derby through injury and failed to recover his form that year. As a four-year-old he won a second Prix de La Jonchere before going on to win the Prix des Sablons, Prix d'Ispahan and Prix du Chemin de Fer du Nord. After his retirement from racing Rodosto had some success at a breeding stallion in France and Argentina.
