The Olympic is a greyhound racing competition held annually at Brighton & Hove Greyhound Stadium.

It was inaugurated in 1947 at Wandsworth Stadium. Following the closure of Wandsworth in June 1966 the competition switched to Charlton Stadium which itself closed in September 1971. After an eight year gap the event was resurrected by Hove in 1979 and has remained there since.
