bonuses = The Prix de Cabourg is a Group 3 flat horse race in France open to two-year-old thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 1,200 metres (approximately 6 furlongs) at Deauville Racecourse, and it takes place annually in late July or early August.

It takes its name from the nearby commune of Cabourg, which, like the racecourse, is in the Calvados department of France. The race was introduced in 1921 by the "Société d'Encouragement", an organisation which had recently taken over the duties of the "Société des Courses de Deauville". This followed the death of Jacques Le Marois, the latter society's chairman, in December 1920.

Deauville Racecourse was closed during World War II and so the race was not run from 1940 to 1945. It has otherwise continually taken place at this venue without exception.

From its launch until 1954 the Prix de Cabourg was contested over 1,200 metres. This was followed by a period of frequent changes, between 1955 and 1972, when the race was run at various distances ranging from 900 to 1,400 metres. The present distance, a return to 1,200 metres, was introduced in 1973.

The race was promoted to Group 3 status in 1988.
