The Ascot Gold Cup is a Group 1 flat horse race in the United Kingdom for four-year-old and above thoroughbreds run over a distance of 2 miles 4 furlongs (4,023 metres) at Ascot Racecourse during June.

First run in 1807, the Gold Cup is traditionally held on Ladies' Day at Royal Ascot. Sagaro won the race three times in a row and there have been a number of two-time winners including Touchstone, Le Moss, Ardross, Prince Palatine and Kayf Tara.

Together with the 2 miles 2 furlongs (3,219 m) Doncaster Cup and 2 miles (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.
