The Prix de Malleret is a Group 2 flat horse race in France open to three-year-old thoroughbred fillies. It is run over a distance of 2,400 metres (approximately 1½ miles) at Saint-Cloud Racecourse and takes place annually in late June or early July.

It is named after Malleret, an estate in the Médoc region of France which was once the location of a successful stud farm. The original version of the Prix de Malleret was a 1,600 metre event for both three-year-old colts and fillies, but in 1907 it increased to 2,000 metres and was restricted to fillies only.

With the exception of the 1970 running, which was contested over 1,950 metres, the distance remained at 2,000 metres until the present length was introduced in 1987. The race was first run at its present venue in 2001, prior to which it usually took place at Longchamp. The only other racecourse to have staged the Prix de Malleret is Maisons-Laffitte, where it was run in 1943 and 1944 during World War II.

The race was promoted to Group 2 status in 1977 having been contested previously at Group 3 level.
