The Earl of Sefton Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Great Britain open to horses aged four years or older. It is run over a distance of 1 mile and 1 furlong (1,811 metres) on the Rowley Mile at Newmarket in mid-April.

History
The event was established in 1971, and it was initially called the Rubbing House Stakes. The first running was won by Pembroke Castle.

The race was renamed the Earl of Sefton Stakes in 1973. It was named in memory of Hugh Molyneux (1898–1972), the seventh Earl of Sefton.

The Earl of Sefton Stakes is currently held on the final day of Newmarket's three-day Craven Meeting. It is run the day after the Craven Stakes.
