The Captain Cook Stakes is a Group 1 Thoroughbred horse race run at weight-for-age over a distance of 1,600 metres (1 mile) at Trentham Racecourse in Wellington, New Zealand. Over the years the race has been won by great New Zealand racehorses such as Rough Habit (1992) and Solveig (1986).

In 2009 the race date was moved from the end October to the beginning of December, to address the disadvantage the race had due to its close proximity to the running of the Hawke's Bay Spring Carnival.[1]
