The Autumn Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Great Britain which is open to two-year-old thoroughbreds. It is run at on the Rowley Mile course at Newmarket over a distance of 1 mile (1,609 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in October.
For a period the event was classed at Listed level. It was promoted to its present status, Group 3, in 2003. It was originally held at Ascot but was transferred to Newmarket in 2011 as part of various changes to establish a Champions' Day at Ascot. The leading horses from the Autumn Stakes sometimes go on to compete in the Racing Post Trophy, which is usually two weeks later.
