The Florida Pearl Novice Chase is a Grade 2 National Hunt novice chase in Ireland which is open to horses aged five years or older. It is run at Punchestown over a distance of 2 miles and 6 furlongs (4,425 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in November.

The race is named in honour of Florida Pearl, who won a record four Irish Hennessy Gold Cups for Willie Mullins in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

The race was known as the Irish Field Novice Chase until 2006. It was awarded Grade 3 status in 2003 and then raised to Grade 2 in 2011.
