Fontwell Park Racecourse is a horse racing course located in the village of Fontwell in West Sussex, England. It features a figure-of-eight chase course and an oval hurdles course.

It was the course where Queen Elizabeth II had her first winner as an owner when Monaveen won the Chichester Handicap Chase there in October 1949 [http://www.fontwellpark.co.uk/information/history.asp] . In 1984 John Francome rode his 1,036th career winner at Fontwell Park, passing Stan Mellor's record for a National Hunt jockey - Francome's record has subsequently been beaten.
