The Ascot Gold Cup is a Group 1 flat horse race in the United Kingdom open to thoroughbreds which are four-years-old or above. It is run over a distance of 2½ miles (4,023 metres) at Ascot Racecourse, and it takes place annually in June.

First run in 1807, the Gold Cup is traditionally held on Ladies' Day (day three) at Royal Ascot and is the feature event of the five-day racing festival.

Both Sagaro and Yeats have recorded three victories in the race and there have also been a number of two-time winners. These include Touchstone, Le Moss, Ardross, Prince Palatine, Gildoran and Kayf Tara. Renowned jockey Lester Piggott won the race eleven times.

Together with the 2¼ mile (3,621 m) Doncaster Cup and 2 mile (3,219 metres) Goodwood Cup, the Ascot Gold Cup is part of Britain's "Stayers' Triple Crown" for horses capable of running longer distances. Only six horses have ever swept the series; Le Moss is the only horse to do it twice.

When Royal Ascot was temporarily moved to York Racecourse in 2005, the course had to be modified to allow the Gold Cup and other long distance races to be possible.

In 1970 Rosemary Lomax became the first woman trainer to ever win the Ascot Gold Cup.Lester Piggott earned the first of his eleven wins when he captured the 1957 race aboard Zarathustra.
