The Hollywood Derby is a race for three-year-old thoroughbred race horses on the turf run each year in December at Hollywood Park. Set at a distance of one and one-quarter miles, the Derby was on a hiatus in 2005 due to the poor condition of the Hollywood Park turf course. The purse for this Grade I event is usually $500,000 USD.

The Hollywood Derby held its 67th running in 2006.

The great filly Busher won this race in 1945. Riva Ridge took it in 1972.
