The Sprint Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Great Britain open to horses aged three years or older. It is run at Sandown Park over a distance of 5 furlongs and 6 yards (1,011 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in early July.

The event is held on the same afternoon as Sandown Park's most prestigious flat race, the Eclipse Stakes. For a period it was classed at Listed level, and it was promoted to Group 3 status in 2004.

The long-term sponsors of the Eclipse Stakes, Coral, started to sponsor the Sprint Stakes in 2009. It is now known as the Coral Charge.
