The Tokai Stakes (Japanese 東海ステークス) is a Grade 3 horse race in Japan for Thoroughbreds aged three and over run in July over a distance of 1,400 meters at Chukyo Racecourse.[1]

It was first run in 1984 as the Grade 3 Winter Stakes and was promoted to Grade 2 in 1999. It was renamed the Tokai Stakes in 2000. The race was initially run over 2,200 meters but switched to 2,300 meters in 1986. The distance was reduced to 1,900 meters in 2010 and 1,800 meters in 2013. In 2025, the race schedule was moved over from January to July with the distance shortened to 1,400 meters, and the status demoted to Grade 3.[2]
