The Kawasaki Kinen (Kawasaki Memorial) (川崎記念) is a Japanese thoroughbred horse race on dirt track for horses aged four years or older.

It is held in early April, so it is the first (domestic) grade 1 race in Japanese horseracing season.

Although some past winners (such as Smart Falcon [ja] and Vermilion) ran the Dubai World Cup after winning this race, only Ushba Tesoro won both the Kawasaki Kinen and the Dubai World Cup.
