The Henley Prize is a rowing trophy at the annual Henley Royal Regatta on the River Thames at Henley-on-Thames in England. It has been used by the regatta as a prize for new events which do not yet have their own trophies.
In 1968, it was the trophy for an event for men's coxed fours. The following year this event was renamed the Britannia Challenge Cup following the donation of a trophy by Nottingham Britannia Rowing Club.
In 1990 and 1991, it was the trophy for an event for student men's eights. The following year this event was renamed the Temple Challenge Cup.
In 2000 and 2001, it was the trophy for an event for women's eights. The following year this event was renamed the Remenham Challenge Cup following the donation of a trophy by Remenham Club.

Famous quotes containing the word prize:
“He saw, he wish’d, and to the prize aspir’d.
Resolv’d to win, he meditates the way,
By force to ravish, or by fraud betray;
For when success a lover’s toil attends,
Few ask, if fraud or force attain’d his ends.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
