The Groupie Doll Stakes (known as the 'Gardenia Stakes' until 2015) is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually in early August at Ellis Park Race Course in Henderson, Kentucky. The event is open to three-year-olds & up fillies and mares. It is run at one mile (8 furlongs) on a conventional dirt surface. The race itself was initially named for the flower used in the winner's garland. The race is now named after the 2011 winner; Groupie Doll.

The race was first run in 1982. It first became a Grade III race in 1988.
