The '''Melling Chase''' is a Grade 1 [[National Hunt racing|National Hunt]] [[steeplechase (horse racing)|steeplechase]] in Great Britain which is open to [[Horse racing|horses]] aged five years or older. It is run at [[Aintree Racecourse|Aintree]] over a distance of about 2 miles and 4 furlongs (4,023 metres), and during its running there are sixteen fences to be jumped. The race is scheduled to take place each year in early April.

The event is named after [[Melling, Merseyside|Melling]], a nearby village which is made famous by Melling Road, a public road which crosses the racecourse. It was established in 1991, and it has held Grade 1 status throughout its history. The race is currently staged on the second day of the three-day [[Grand National]] meeting.

The field often includes horses which ran in the [[Queen Mother Champion Chase]] or the [[Ryanair Chase]] at the previous month's [[Cheltenham Festival]].
