bonuses = The Prix de Barbeville is a Group 3 flat horse race in France open to thoroughbreds which are four-years-old or above. It is run over a distance of 3,100 metres (approximately 1 mile and 7½ furlongs) at Longchamp Racecourse, and it takes place annually in late April or early May.

It was first run in 1889 and takes its name from the stud farm Haras de Barbeville, near to Bayeux, which was established in the late 19th century. Initially the race was restricted to five-year-olds and above, before opening to four-year-olds in 1905.

During World War II the race was transferred to Auteuil in 1943, Maisons-Laffitte in 1944 and Tremblay in 1945. It was run over 3,000 metres until 1952, and then underwent frequent changes before the present distance was introduced in 1966. The race left Longchamp again in the early 1990s, taking place at Saint-Cloud in 1991, 1993, 1994 and 1995, and Maisons-Laffitte in 1992. The first three races at Saint-Cloud were contested over 2,900 metres, and the first running back at Longchamp in 1996 was over 3,000 metres.
