The Foxhunters' Open Hunters' Chase is a National Hunt steeplechase in Great Britain for amateur riders which is open to horses aged six years or older. It is run at Aintree over a distance of about 2 miles and 5 furlongs (2 miles, 5 furlongs and 19 yards, or 4,242 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in April.

The Foxhunters' is one of only three races run over the Grand National fences at the Aintree Festival, the other two races being the Topham Chase and the Grand National itself. The race is currently sponsored by Randox Laboratories.
