The Diana Handicap is a race for thoroughbred horses. Named for the mythological goddess Diana, the race is run each year at Saratoga Race Course. Inaugurated in 1939, it is open to fillies and mares age three and up willing to race the one and one-eighth miles on the turf. The race is a Grade I with a purse of $500,000.

Prior winners include Misty Morn in 1955 and Hall of Fame filly Gamely who won it in 1968 but was disqualified and placed second. She came back to win it the following year. Another Hall of Fame filly, Shuvee, won it in 1970 & 1971.
