The Mannerism Stakes is a Melbourne Racing Club Group 3 Thoroughbred horse race for mares aged four years old and older, held under Set Weights conditions with penalties, over a distance of 1400 metres at Caulfield Racecourse in Melbourne, Australia in late February. [1] Prizemoney is A$200,000.

In 1996 and 2023 the event was held at Flemington Racecourse.
Notes:
† The 2016 race was won by Azkadellia [36] but was disqualified by Racing Victoria because convicted criminal Peter Foster was the 'mastermind' behind an arrangement with her racing manager Ben Connolly to deceive stewards over the true ownership. [37]
