Japan Breeding Farms' Cup Sprint (ジャパンブリーディングファームズカップスプリント) is an annual race held on "JBC day", which is usually November 3, or the national holiday Culture Day. This race and the JBC Classic were started in 2001. These were established following the American Breeders' Cup.

As of 2023, only four horses that have won the race belong to NAR, the organization supervising horseracing administrated by the local government. The rest of the winners belong to the JRA.

There is no other domestic or international grade 1 sprint race on dirt in Japan other than this race.

JBC races are held on various racetracks, so its distance is changed yearly like the rest of the races held in JBC day.
