The Lightning Novices' Chase is a Grade 2 National Hunt steeplechase in Great Britain which is open to horses aged five years or older. It is run at Lingfield Park over a distance of about 2 miles (3,219 metres), and during its running there are twelve fences to be jumped. The race is for novice chasers, and it is scheduled to take place each year in January.

The race was first run in 1979 and was originally held at Ascot, contested over a distance of 2 miles. It was switched to alternative venues for a three-year period beginning in 2005, and it returned to Ascot with a distance of 2 miles and 1 furlong in 2008. The race was transferred to Doncaster in 2010, and at the same time its length was cut by 110 yards. It was run in late January or early February.

In April 2023 the British Horseracing Authority announced that the race would be moved to Lingfield Park and would be run one week earlier as part of a restructure of the 2023/24 programme.[1]
