The Premio Chiusura is a Listed flat horse race in Italy open to thoroughbreds aged two years or older. It is run at Milan over a distance of 1,400 metres (about 7 furlongs), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late October or early November.

The event is traditionally held during Milan's last flat racing fixture of the year. The English translation of its title is Closing Prize.

The Premio Chiusura was given Group 2 status in the 1970s. It was relegated to Group 3 level in 1988 and downgraded to Listed status in 2017.[1]
