Comic Costume Race is an 1896 British short black-and-white silent actuality film, directed by Robert W. Paul, featuring a comic costume scramble at the Music Hall Sports on 14 July 1896 at Herne Hill, London.

The film is the best surviving pictorial record of the Music Hall Sports.

[2] The film was, according to Michael Brooke of BFI Screenonline, "presented at Windsor Castle on 23 November 1896," which, "enabled Paul to add a royal seal of approval to his advertisements."

[3][4] Another film of the costume race at the Music Hall Sports was produced in 1898.
