The NHK Mile Cup (NHKマイルカップ (NHK Mairu Kappu?)) is a Grade 1 flat horse race in Japan for three-year-old and above thoroughbred colts and fillies, run over a distance of 1,600 metres (approximately 1 mile) on the turf at Tokyo Racecourse in May.

The NHK Mile Cup is sponsored by the Japanese public broadcasting organization NHK, and as such, this race is broadcasted not only on Fuji TV (one of NHK's competitors) but on both of the NHK channels that cover horse racing (General TV and BS-hi).

It is considered one of the prep races for both the Yushun Himba (the Japanese Oaks) and the Tokyo Yushun (the Japanese Derby).
