The National Stallion Stakes was an American Thoroughbred horse race for two-year-old fillies held annually for the twenty-four years between 1948 through 1971.

Contested on dirt at a distance of five and one-half furlongs, the filly division was hosted by Belmont Park in Elmont, New York except for 1963 through 1967 when it was run at Aqueduct Racetrack in South Ozone Park, Queens, New York. The race was restricted to fillies whose sire had been nominated for the race by its owner before the end of the foal's birth year.
