Die St. Leger Stakes sind ein Galopprennen für dreijährige Stuten und Hengste, das seit 1776 im englischen Doncaster in South Yorkshire jedes Jahr im September über 2937 Meter gelaufen wird. Es ist das längste und älteste der fünf „British Classic Races“. Es ist außerdem das letzte Rennen der britischen Triple-Crown-Serie.
Das Gruppe I-Rennen wurde von dem Armeeoffizier und Politiker Antony St. Leger angestoßen und am 24. September 1776 auf dem Cantley Common in Doncaster erstmals ausgetragen. Erste Siegerin war eine namenlose Stute, die später den Namen Allabaculia erhielt. 1778 wurde das Flachrennen nach Town Moor verlegt, wo es noch heute veranstaltet wird.
Dem Jockey Bill Scott gelangen zwischen 1821 und 1846 mit neun Erfolgen die meisten Siege bei den St. Leger Stakes. Sein Bruder John Scott feierte die meisten Erfolge als Trainer mit 16 Siegen. Die schnellste Zeit (in Doncaster) gelang 2011 Masked Marvel mit 3m 00.44s.
