The Cesarewitch Handicap is a flat horse race in Great Britain which is open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older. It is run at Newmarket over a distance of 2 miles and 2 furlongs (3,621 metres), and the latter part is on the Rowley Mile. It is scheduled to take place each year in October.

The event was established in 1839, and the inaugural running was won by Cruiskeen. The name "Cesarewitch" is an anglicised version of Tsesarevich, the title of the heir to the throne in Imperial Russia. The race was named in honour of Tsesarevich Alexander (later Tsar Alexander II), after he had donated £300 to the Jockey Club. It was founded in the same year as another major handicap at Newmarket, the Cambridgeshire. The two events came to be known as the "Autumn Double".

The Cesarewitch initially took place before the Cambridgeshire, but the schedule was later reversed and it is now held two weeks after the other race. Three horses completed the double in the 19th century — Rosebery (1876), Foxhall (1881) and Plaisanterie (1885) — but since then the feat has been rarely attempted.

The Cesarewitch Handicap is usually contested by a large field, and the maximum number of runners is currently 34. From 2011 it will be staged on Future Champions Day along with the Dewhurst Stakes and Middle Park Stakes.
