The Queen Cup (Japanese クイーンカップ) is a Grade 3 horse race for three-year-old Thoroughbred fillies run in February over a distance of 1600 metres at Tokyo Racecourse.[[1]

The race was first run in 1966 and was elevated to Grade 3 status in 1984. It was contested at a variety of venues but has been run over its current course and distance since 1981. The race serves as a trial race for the Oka Sho, run in early April, which it is the traditional start to the annual classic races for three-year-olds in Japan.[[2]
