The All American Stakes is a Thoroughbred race for horses three-years-old and up and run at East Bay track, Golden Gate Fields, at a distance of one mile. (Shortened from one and one eighth miles.) It currently offers a purse of $100,000.

The All American is the first Grade III event on its new Tapeta Footings main track which was unveiled on November 7, 2007.
