The Cattleya Stakes is a flathorse race in Japan open to two-year-old horses. It is run at Tokyo Racecourse over a distance of 1,600 metres.

The race was first run as Cattleya Sho in 1975 and then discontinued from 2008 to 2014.^[1] The race was reintroduced in 2015. In 2016, the race began to be included as part of the Road to the Kentucky Derby series.^[2] It was renamed to Cattleya Stakes in 2020.

The inaugural race in 1975 was run at 1,600 metres. The next year it was run at 1,700 metres on turf, but was brought back to 1,600 meters on dirt the year after. It has since run at 1,600 metres except for 2003 when it was run at 1,800 metres at Nakayama Racecourse.^[2][3][4]
