The Raven Run Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run at Keeneland during the third week of October as part of the race course's annual Fall Meet. The Grade II event is open to three-year-old fillies willing to race seven furlongs on Polytrack synthetic dirt and offers a purse of $300,000.

Due to the sponsorship by the Lexus division of the Toyota Motor Corporation beginning in 2005, the race is now referred to as the Lexus Raven Run Stakes.

This race is named for the 374-acre (1.51 km²) nature sanctuary outside Lexington, Kentucky. There was also a three-year-old colt called Raven Run who, while vying for the lead at a Keeneland race, died on the track in 2000.

In 2013 the purse for this race was $250,000.
