The 1875 Grand National was the 37th official renewal of the Grand National horse race that took place at Aintree near Liverpool, England, on 18 March 1875.

In a bid to make the first two fences fairer, the hedges at fences one and two were both replaced. A sketch of the second fence this year shows it to have been a rail and ditch.

First circuit: From the start, the runners had a long run away from the racecourse, across the lane towards Fence 1 {13} Hedge. Fence 2 {14} Rail and Ditch, Fence 3 {15} Double Rails, Fence 4 {16} Rails and Ditch, Fence 5 {17} Becher's Brook Fence 6 {18} Post and Rails, Fence 7 {19} The Canal Turn, referred to this year as the turn for Valentine's. Fence 8 {20} Valentine's Brook, Fence 9 {21} Drop, Fence 10 {22} Post and Rails.

The runners then crossed the lane at the canal bridge, where a table jump had formerly stood, to re-enter the racecourse proper, turning at the first opportunity towards the fences in front of the stands. Fence 11 Bush, Fence 12 Stand Water.

Second circuit: The runners then turned away from the Grandstands and crossed the lane again, following the first circuit until reaching the racecourse. This time the runners continued to the wider extreme of the course after crossing the lane at canal bridge before turning to run up the straight in front of the stands where two hurdles, Fence 23 and Fence 24 had to be jumped

The runners then bypassed the Bush and Stand Water inside before reaching the winning post in front of the Main Stand.

6/1 La Viene was sent off as co favourite in what was considered by the press to be a substandard field in comparison with recent years. Duel winning rider, Johnny Page took this as his eleventh ride in the race.

6/1 Jackal would be ridden by his trainer, Dick Marsh, who had yet to complete the course in his three previous attempts.
