The Pretty Polly Stakes is a Group 1 flat horse race in the Republic of Ireland for three-year-old and above thoroughbred fillies and mares run over a distance of 1 mile and 2 furlongs (2,012 metres) at the Curragh in late June / early July.

The race is named after the great filly Pretty Polly and is not to be confused with a Listed race at Newmarket Racecourse in the United Kingdom which has the same name.

It was first run as a Group 1 in 2004, having previously been a Group 2. The race is currently sponsored by Audi.
