The Fuchu Himba Stakes (Japanese 府中牝馬ステークス) is a Japanese Grade 3 horse race for Thoroughbred fillies and mares aged three and over run in June over a distance of 1,800 meters at Tokyo Racecourse.
It was first run in 1953 and was promoted to Grade 3 in 1984 before being run as a Group 2 race since 2011. The race was usually contested over 1,600 meters before being moved up to 1,800 meters in 1996. The race used to serve as a trial for the Queen Elizabeth II Cup. In 2025, the race schedule will be moved from October to June, downgraded to Grade 3, and will lose its Queen Elizabeth II Cup trial status.
