The Paumonok Handicap is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually at Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, New York. A six furlong sprint race, it is open to horses aged three years and older and currently offers a purse of $75,000.
The race was inaugurated in 1906 at the now defunct Jamaica Racetrack in Jamaica, Queens, New York. It was hosted by the Jamaica track from 1906 to 1908 and from 1915 to 1959. Belmont Park hosted it in 1913.
Due to the passage by the New York Legislature of the Hart-Agnew Law outlawing gambling in New York State, there was no race run in 1909, 1911, 1912, and 1914.
Paumonok Handicap was run in two divisions in 1943 and again in 1975.
