The Pat Eddery Stakes is a Listed flat horse race in Great Britain open to two-year-old horses. It is run at Ascot over a distance of 7 furlongs (1,408 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in July.

The event was originally named the Winkfield Stakes after Winkfield, a village located to the north of Ascot. It was established in 2006, and the inaugural running was won by Satulagi. It was permanently renamed in 2016 to honour Pat Eddery, a 11-time British Champion flat jockeys jockey who died in 2015.

The Pat Eddery Stakes is held at the same meeting as the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.
