The Longacres Mile Handicap is an American Thoroughbred horse race generally held in August at Emerald Downs in Auburn, Washington. The race is open to horses three years of age and older and is run on dirt over a distance of one mile (eight furlongs). A Grade III event, it is the showpiece of the Emerald Downs' race meeting.[1]

Created by Joe Gottstein for the Longacres racetrack's third season, the race ran at that Renton, Washington track from 1935-92. From 1993-95 the race held its graded status as the Budweiser Mile at Yakima Meadows. Since 1996 the venue has been Emerald Downs.

In 2008, Jennifer Whitaker became the first female jockey (aboard Wasserman) to win the Longacres Mile.
