The La Cañada Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually during the second week of February (or, at times, January) at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California. A Grade II event, the race is open to four-year-old fillies and mares willing to race one and one-eighth miles on dirt.

Inaugurated in 1975, for its first year only the race was contested at a distance of one-and-one-sixteenth miles. The race is part of Santa Anita Park's La Cañada Series of races open to newly turning/turned 4-year old fillies and run at an increasing distance. The series begins with the La Brea Stakes at 7 furlongs in December of the previous year. It is followed by the G-II El Encino Stakes at 1 116 miles in mid January, then the La Cañada Stakes during the second week of February. Since the creation of the series in 1975, only three fillies have ever won all three races: Taisez Vous (1978), Mitterand (1985), and Got Koko (2003). The Santa Anita Park counterpart series for male horses is the Strub Series.

In 2012 the distance was reverted to 1 116 miles and the race was held in mid January.
