The Champion Hurdle was a greyhound racing competition held annually. Until 2017 it was held at Wimbledon Stadium but switched to Towcester Greyhound Stadium following the closure of Wimbledon.

The event previously culminated on the same evening of the English Greyhound Derby final and is over hurdles being the third most valuable hurdle race behind the Grand National and Springbok.

The race was switched to Central Park following the closure of Towcester and because Nottingham (the new hosts of the Derby) did not run hurdles races it no longer featured on Derby final night. In 2023, the event was run at Crayford Stadium but ended with the closure of Crayford Stadium in 2024.
