The Prix de Psyché is a Group 3 flat horse race in France open to three-year-old thoroughbred fillies. It is run at Deauville over a distance of 2,000 metres (about 1¼ miles), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late July or early August.

The event is named after Psyche, a figure in Greek mythology, a character from a novel by Apuleius and also the title of the tragédie et ballet Psyché.

The race was established in 1969, and its conditions have remained unchanged since its creation. It was given Group 3 status in 1980.
