The Weatherbys Chase is a National Hunt Listed handicap chase in England which is open to horses aged five years or older. It is run at Ascot over a distance of 3 miles (4,828 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in February.

The race was first run in 2011, but it is effectively a reincarnation of the Whitbread Trial Handicap Chase (later the Crispin Handicap), which was first run in 1966 and last run in 1994.
