The York Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in Great Britain open to horses aged three years or older. It is run at York over a distance of 1 mile, 2 furlongs and 88 yards (2,092 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in July.

The event was established in 2006, and the inaugural running was won by Best Alibi. It replaced the Scottish Derby, a discontinued race at Ayr.

The York Stakes serves as a possible trial for the following month's International Stakes, which is contested over the same course and distance. The first horse to win both races was Twice Over in 2011.
