The Glorious Song Stakes is a Canadian Thoroughbred horse race run annually in mid-November at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario. A race open to Two-year-old fillies, since 2006 it has contested over Seven furlongs on a synthetic "all weather" track surface.

Inaugurated in 1981 at Toronto's now defunct Greenwood Raceway, in 1994 the race was moved to the Woodbine facility.

It is named in honour of Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame filly, Glorious Song, owned by Frank Stronach and Nelson Bunker Hunt.

The Glorious Song Stakes was run in two divisions in 1985.
