The Nas Na Riogh Novice Chase is a Grade B National Hunt novice handicap chase in Ireland. It is run at Naas in February, over a distance of 2 miles and 4 furlongs and during the race there are 13 fences to be jumped.

The race was first run in 1981 as a Listed race restricted to novices, and was initially known as the Nas Na Ri Chase. The race was renamed in 1996, and was upgraded to Grade 2 status in 2003.

In 2015 the race was downgraded to a novice handicap.

Nas Na Ri/Nás na Ríogh is the Irish name for the town of Naas.
