Al Quoz Sprint is a thoroughbred horse race held in Meydan Racecourse, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. In 2009, it became a Group 3. In 2010 the race moved to Dubai World Cup Night meeting.

Dubai Racing Club created this new turf race because Dubai Golden Shaheen is was not possible to use the straight track after the opening of the new Meydan Racecourse.

In 2011, the race was shortened to a 1000-meter sprint.
