The Coronation Cup Stakes is a Grade III American Thoroughbred horse race for three-year-old fillies over a distance of 5+1⁄2 furlongs on the turf course scheduled annually in July at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York. The event currently carries a purse of $175,000.
The event was name after the Rokeby Stable Virginia-bred color-bearer Coronation Cup who won the 1994 Nijana Stakes at Saratoga.
The event was inaugurated on 13 August 2012 and was won by the Kentucky-bred filly Sensible Lady, sired by the 2007 Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense by 2+1⁄4 lengths in a time of 1:03.14.
In 2015 Lady Shipman set a stakes record when winning by 3+1⁄4 lengths in a time of 1:00.85.
Due to unseasonable rain, the event in 2016 was moved off the turf and run on a sloppy dirt track with only four runners and was reclassified as a Listed event after examination by the Graded Stakes Committee. However, in 2021 and 2023 the event lost its Listed status and was reclassified as a non-Listed Black Type event after the events were moved to the dirt track.
In 2025 the event was upgraded to Grade III by the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association.
