The Oh So Sharp Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Great Britain open to two-year-old fillies. It is run on the Rowley Mile at Newmarket over a distance of 7 furlongs (1,408 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in October.
The event is named after Oh So Sharp, a Newmarket-trained winner of the fillies' Triple Crown in 1985. It was established in 1987, and it was initially an ungraded conditions race. It was given Listed status in 1993, and promoted to Group 3 level in 2007.
The race was previously held on the second day of Newmarket's three-day Cambridgeshire Meeting, the day before the Cambridgeshire Handicap, but was moved to a fixture a week later in 2014. From 2015 it was moved back a further week to become part of the Future Champions Festival at Newmarket.

Oh So Sharp (1982–2001) was an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse best known for winning the English Fillies' Triple Crown in 1985. In a racing career which lasted from August 1984 until September 1985, she won seven of her nine races, starting favourite on each occasion and never at odds of more than 2/1. She was one of the leading two-year-old fillies of 1984 when she was unbeaten in three races, including the Fillies' Mile. In the following year Oh So Sharp won the 1000 Guineas in record time and then took the Oaks by six lengths before being narrowly beaten in her next two starts in major weight-for-age races. The filly completed the Triple Crown in the St Leger Stakes. She was retired at the end of the season and became a successful broodmare. Oh So Sharp died in 2001 at the age of nineteen.
