The Silver Deputy Stakes is a Canadian Thoroughbred horse race held annually during the fourth week of August at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario. Open to two-year-old horses, it is contested over a distance of six and one half furlongs on Polytrack synthetic dirt.

In 2006, the race was run at 7.5 furlongs. 2009 will be its twelfth running.

In addition to the $100,000 purse, the event offers up to $10,000 in bonus money for eligible Ontario-bred horses as well as up to $15,150 Ontario Sired/Ontario Bred Breeder Awards.

The race is named for Windfields Farm stallion, Silver Deputy.

As of 2009 this race appears to be discontinued.
