The Royal North Stakes is a Canadian Thoroughbred horse race run annually since 1989 at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario. Held in early August, the Grade III sprint race is open to fillies and mares aged three and older and is run over a distance of six furlongs on turf. It currently offers a purse of $150,000. Inaugurated in 1989 as the Royal North Handicap, it was run as a six furlong race on dirt until 1996 when it was switched to Woodbine Racetrack's E. P. Taylor turf course.
