The Prix Maurice de Gheest is a Group 1 flat horse race in France open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older.
It is run at Deauville over a distance of 1,300 metres (about 6½ furlongs), and it is scheduled to take place each year in August.
Deauville Racecourse was closed during World War II, and the Prix Maurice de Gheest was cancelled in 1940.
The present system of race grading was introduced in 1971, and the Prix Maurice de Gheest was initially classed at Group 3 level.
The Prix Maurice de Gheest was included in the Turf Sprint division of the Breeders' Cup Challenge series in 2009, but it was removed from the series the following year.
