The Sovereign Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Great Britain open to colts and geldings aged three years or older. It is run at Salisbury over a distance of 1 mile (1,609 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in August.

The event was established in 2000, replacing the Whitchurch Conditions Stakes, and it was initially classed at Listed level. It was promoted to its current status, Group 3, in 2004.

The Sovereign Stakes is one of Salisbury's two highest class races of the season, along with the Dick Poole Fillies' Stakes.
