The 1946 Grand National was the 100th renewal of the Grand National horse race that took place at Aintree near Liverpool, England, on 5 April 1946.

It was the first true Aintree Grand National since 1940 due to World War II.

The National was won by 25/1 shot Lovely Cottage, ridden by jockey Captain Robert Petre and trained by Tommy Rayson.

Thirty-four horses ran and one died: Symbole fell at Becher's Brook, incurring a fatal cervical fracture.
