The Alexandra Stakes is a Group 3 race for three-year-old fillies conducted by the Moonee Valley Racing Club at Moonee Valley.
The race was first run in 1983 and has carried a variety of names and titles. The race was held originally in October on W.S. Cox Plate day, but was moved to the Autumn in 2013 and has since been known as the Alexandra Stakes.
