The Prix de la Grotte is a Group 3 flat horse race in France open to three-year-old thoroughbred fillies. It is run over a distance of 1,600 metres (approximately 1 mile) at Longchamp Racecourse, and it takes place annually in April.

First run in 1889, it was initially a race for three-year-olds and above. The conditions were often changed in the early years, before the present version, the fillies' equivalent of the Prix de Fontainebleau, was established in 1952. At this point the distance was 1,600 metres, and following a series of alterations in the mid 1960s, the race returned to this distance in 1968.

The Prix de la Grotte has a very good record as a trial for the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, with many runners subsequently winning or finishing placed in the Group 1 event.
