The Mile Championship Nambu Hai (in Japanese: マイルチャンピオンシップ南部杯) is a Domestic Grade 1 race for thoroughbreds three-year-olds and above held at Morioka Racecourse in Japan.
The name of the race originates from the Nambu clan which ruled the Morioka Domain during the Edo period. The name and Nambu family crest are used with the approval of the 45th head of the Nambu clan, Toshiaki Nambu. The current head of the Nambu clan attends the award ceremony every year and awards the trophy to the winner.
