The Eider Chase is National Hunt steeplechase in Great Britain. It is run at Newcastle Racecourse in February, over a distance of 4 miles and 1 furlong.

The race was first run in 1952 and is seen as a trial for the Grand National. Comply or Die won both races in 2008, however, the 2004 winner, Tyneandthyneagain, was later killed at Aintree. The 2011 race was run in extremely heavy ground, with only three horses completing the marathon.
