The Limestone Lad Hurdle is a Grade 3 National Hunt hurdle race in Ireland which is open to horses aged five years and over. It is run at Naas over a distance of 2 miles 3 furlongs (3,822 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in January.

The race was first run in 2000, as the Bank of Ireland Hurdle. It was renamed in 2008 to honour Limestone Lad, who had won the first three runnings of the race.

The race was awarded Grade 3 status in 2011.
