The Sandy Lane Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in Great Britain open to horses aged three years only.

It is run at Haydock Park over a distance of 6 furlongs (1,207 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late May or early June.

The race had Listed status prior to 2015. It was raised to Group 2 level as part of a set of changes to sprint races in Great Britain.{{cite web|title=British Racing welcomes addition of two Group 1 races in boost to sprint programme / 13 Aug 14|url=http://www.britishhorseracing.com/press_releases/british-racing-welcomes-addition-two-group-1-races-boost-sprint-programme/|website=britishhorseracing.com|accessdate=13 April 2015}}
