The Astoria Stakes is a long-lived race for two-year-old Thoroughbred fillies run at Belmont Park during its Spring/Summer season. Originally set at a distance of five furlongs, beginning in the year 1940, it went off at five and a half furlongs on the dirt. Still at this distance today, the Astoria offers a $100,000 purse.

This race began at Gravesend Race Track in 1902 where it stayed until 1910. It then moved to Aqueduct Racetrack to be contested from 1914 to 1955, and again from 1960 to 1974. It was at Jamaica Racetrack 1956, 1958, and 1959.

Named for a town in the New York borough of Queens, it will be in its 103nd running in 2009.
