bonuses = The Prix de Ris-Orangis is a Group 3 flat horse race in France open to thoroughbreds which are three-years-old or above. It is run over a distance of 1,200 metres (approximately 6 furlongs) and takes place annually in July, presently at Deauville Racecourse.

It was first run in 1970 at Saint-Cloud as the Prix d'Evry, named after Evry Racecourse which was then under construction. In the following two years the race took place at Maisons-Laffitte before moving to Evry when it opened in 1973. At this point the race adopted its present title, named after Ris-Orangis, a commune in southern Paris in which part of the new racecourse was situated.

The Prix de Ris-Orangis arrived at Deauville following the closure of Evry Racecourse in 1996. It has since remained at this venue with the exception of a solitary running at Maisons-Laffitte in 2006.

The race was originally run over 1,600 metres and restricted to horses aged four-years-old or above. Contested in late March or early April, this version of the race continued until 1986. The following year it was cut to its present distance, opened to three-year-olds and switched to July.
