The Del Mar Oaks is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually in mid August at the Del Mar Racetrack in Del Mar, California. Open to three-year-old fillies, it is contested at a distance of one and one-eighth miles (9 furlongs) on the turf. Since 1994 it has been a Grade I event.

From its inception in 1957 through 1964, the Del Mar Oaks was raced at a distance of one mile on dirt.

It was raced in two divisions in 1966 and again in 1970.
