The Limestone Lad Hurdle is a Grade 3 National Hunt hurdle race in Ireland which is open to horses aged five years and over. It is run at Naas over a distance of 2 miles 3 furlongs (3,822 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in January.

The race was first run in 1999, as the Bank of Ireland Hurdle. It was renamed in 2008 to honour Limestone Lad, who was second in the first running of the race and then won the next three runnings.

The race was awarded Grade 3 status in 2011.
