The Schuylerville Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York. Open to two-year-old fillies, it is contested at a distance of six furlongs on dirt. A Listed event, it currently offers a purse of $200,000. By tradition, the Schuylerville is the first stakes race run at every Saratoga meet.

The race is named for the town of Schuylerville, New York, which is adjacent to Saratoga Springs. The race was hosted by Belmont Park in 1943, 1944, and 1945 when races were moved from Saratoga due to World War II, and in 1952 at the now defunct Jamaica Race Course. Inaugurated at a distance of five and one half furlongs, it was contested at that distance through 1959 and from 1962 through 1968. It was run in two divisions in 1959, 1965, and 1974.

In 2006, the race was downgraded from a Grade II to a Grade III.

In 2024 the event was downgraded by the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association to Listed status.
