The John Durkan Memorial Chase is a Grade 1 National Hunt steeplechase in Ireland.
It is run over a distance of about 2 miles and 4 furlongs {2 miles 4 furlongs and 40 yards, or 4,060 metres) at Punchestown in December.
It has been run over the present distance since then apart from in 1993 and 1994, when it was run over 2 miles and 5 furlongs.
The race was renamed in December 1998 in memory of John Durkan (1967-1998), an amateur jockey and assistant racehorse trainer who died of leukemia in January 1998.
