Shanghai Race Club, Historical racing venue in central Shanghai, China.

The Shanghai Race Club was a horse racing club based at the Shanghai Racecourse in central Shanghai. Its 1934 clubhouse, designed by the British firm Moorhead & Halse and built by Yu Hongji, has a red-brown brick and stone facade, a Tashkent-style colonnade, and a 53-metre clock tower at its northwest corner. The building held a 100-metre grandstand, a betting hall on the ground floor, and a swimming pool, the first in Shanghai.

The Race Committee of the International Recreation Club held its first race meet in 1848. In 1850, five founding directors leased land at Honan Road and Nanking Road and built the first racecourse, the "Old Park"; the club was formed that year. In 1854 the Old Park was sold and a second course, the "New Park", was laid out. In 1862 the club bought larger grounds further west and opened its third and last racecourse, becoming independent from the Shanghai Recreation Club.

The club admitted foreigners of any nationality over 21 by a committee vote: one objection deferred the application, three ended it. Chinese members were only allowed as honorary members after the Jiangwan racecourse opened. From 1909 Chinese spectators could buy tickets, and champagne and sweepstake tickets drew many Chinese buyers.

The site is now integrated into People's Square and People's Park, with the original clubhouse preserved as a historic structure. Visitors can view the exterior from the surrounding park areas and approach the building from multiple angles.

Membership required a unanimous vote from committees, making it one of the most exclusive social institutions in colonial Shanghai. This strict admission process deeply shaped the social hierarchies of that era.
