The Hackwood Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Great Britain open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older. It is run at Newbury over a distance of 6 furlongs (1,207 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in July.
The event was promoted to Group 3 status in 2006, having been classed previously at Listed level. It was sponsored by Shadwell Racing from 2009 to 2011. In 2012, it was sponsored by Chrisbeekracing.com and run as the Chrisbeekracing.com Stakes.
The Hackwood Stakes is currently held on the second day of Newbury's Summer Festival meeting, the same day as the Weatherbys Super Sprint.
