The Inside Information Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida. A Grade II event, it is open to fillies and mares age four-years-old and up, willing to race seven furlongs on the dirt. The race currently offers a purse of $200,000.

Known as the Shirley Jones Handicap until 2009, it was renamed for the racing mare Inside Information, winner of the 1995 Breeders' Cup Distaff who was voted that year's American Champion Older Female Horse.

The race was run at six furlongs in 1976 and 1979 as the Shirley Jones Stakes and was open to three-year-old fillies. In 1976 the distance was set at 1 116 miles (8.5 furlongs) and in 1979 at six furlongs.

In 1983, the race was run in two divisions.
