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 8 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.
