The La Lorgnette Stakes is a Canadian Thoroughbred horse race run annually since 2000 at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario. Held during the third week of September, the ungraded stakes race is open to three-year-old fillies. It is raced over a distance of  1 1⁄16 miles on Polytrack synthetic dirt and currently offers a purse of $94,513.

The race is named in honour of Windfields Farm's Champion filly La Lorgnette who in 1985 won Canada's most prestigious race, the Queen's Plate.
