The Patton Stakes is a conditions flat horse race in Ireland open to thoroughbreds aged three years old. It is run at Dundalk over a distance of 1 mile (1,609 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late February or early March.
The race was first run in 2013, replacing in the calendar an equivalent race at The Curragh known as the Loughbrown Stakes. Until 2017 the Patton Stakes was run in April over a distance of 7 furlongs. In 2018 it was moved to a March date and increased to 1 mile to become part of the European series of the Road to the Kentucky Derby. The race lost its Listed status from the 2024 running.
