The Breeders' Stakes is a Canadian stakes race for Thoroughbred race horses first run in 1889. Since 1959 it has been the third race in the Canadian Triple Crown for three-year-olds. Held annually in August at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario, the Breeders' Stakes follows the June running of the Queen's Plate and the July Prince of Wales Stakes.

At a distance of one-and-a-half miles, the Breeders' Stakes is the longest of the three Triple Crown races and unlike the first two that are run on a dirt racetrack, the Breeders' Stakes is raced on turf.

In 2004, Catherine Day Phillips became the first woman trainer to win the Breeders' Stakes.

A Triple Crown champion emerged in its first year of existence and in the ensuing 46 years, six more three-year-olds have equalled the feat. Five horses have won the first two legs of the Triple Crown but lost on the grass in the Breeders' Stakes. They are:
*1970: Almoner finished second to Mary of Scotland (1970)
*1975: L'Enjoleur finished third to Momigi (1975)
*1976: Norcliffe finished fifth to Tiny Tinker (1976)
*1986: Golden Choice finished third to Carotene (1986)
*2000: Scatter The Gold finished third to Lodge Hill (2000)

The 1994 edition was held at 1 5/8 miles at Fort Erie Race Track due to a $12 million reconstruction of the Woodbine Turf course.
