The Knights Royal Hurdle is a National Hunt hurdle race in England which is open to horses aged four or five years. It was run at Ascot over a distance of 2 miles (3,218 metres), and was scheduled to take place each year in December.

The race was first run in 1965 and was last run in 2000.

The race was initially known as the Knights Royal Hurdle, but from 1972 it was known as the S.G.B. Hire Shops Hurdle, later changed to the H.S.S. Hire Shops Hurdle. The original name was re-adopted in 1993.

During the eighties and nineties, when it held Listed status, the race often attracted some of the best second season hurdlers.
