The Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative Cup is a International Grade 1 flat horse race in Japan for three-year-old and above thoroughbred fillies and mares run over a distance of 2,200 metres (approximately 1 mile 3 furlongs) on the turf at Kyoto Racecourse in November.

The race was first run in 1976 over a distance of 2,400 metres (1 mile 4 furlongs). It was originally for three-year-old fillies only and was the third leg of the Japanese Fillies' Triple Crown. In 1996, it was opened to older female horses and was reduced to its present distance. That same year the Shuka Sho was established and became the third leg of the Fillies' Triple Crown.

It is only one of the two Grade 1 races for older female horses in Japan.
