The Somerville Tattersall Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Great Britain which is open to two-year-old thoroughbred colts and geldings. It is run on the Rowley Mile at Newmarket over a distance of 7 furlongs (1,408 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late September or early October.
The event is named in honour of Edmund Somerville Tattersall (1863–1942), who was a senior partner of Tattersalls bloodstock auctioneers. For a period the race was classed at Listed level, and it used to be open to horses of either gender. It was promoted to its present status, Group 3, in 2000.
The Somerville Tattersall Stakes is now held on the opening day of Newmarket's three-day Cambridgeshire Meeting. The leading horses from the race sometimes go on to compete in the Dewhurst Stakes or the Racing Post Trophy.
