The Coronation Cup is a Group 1 flat horse race in the United Kingdom for four-year-old and above thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 1 mile 4 furlongs and 10 yards (2,423 metres) at Epsom Downs Racecourse during the Derby meeting in early June.

It was first run in 1902 to mark the Coronation of King Edward VII. Prior to this there had been a similar race called the Epsom Cup for which three-year-olds were also eligible.
