The Vice Regent Stakes is a Canadian Thoroughbred horse race run annually since 1997 at the end of August at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario.

An Ontario Sire Stakes, it is a restricted race for three-year-olds raced over a distance of one mile (8 furlongs) on Turf and currently carries a purse of $95,200.
