The International Trial was a Listed flat horse race in Great Britain open to horses aged three years only. It was run over a distance of 1 mile and 1 yard () at Lingfield Park in April.
The race was first run in 2002, and was awarded Listed status in 2003. In 2018 the Burradon Stakes (Listed), run over the same distance on Newcastle's Good Friday fixture, became a Listed race in its place, effectively moving the race from Lingfield Park.
