The Federico Tesio Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. Contested over a distannce of one and one-eighth miles on dirt, it is open to three-year-olds horses.

Run during the latter part of April, the race can be a stepping stone to the second leg of the U.S. Triple Crown series, the Preakness Stakes. The last horse to win this race and then go on to capture the Preakness was Deputed Testamony in 1983.

The race was named in honor of Federico Tesio, owner of Dormello Stud in Dormelletto, Novara and who was one of the most important breeders of Thoroughbreds in the history of horse racing.
