The Miami Mile Stakes was an American Thoroughbred horse race once run annually during the last week of April at Calder Race Course in Miami Gardens, Florida. Open to horses age three and older, it was contested on turf over a distance of 1 mile (8 furlongs). The last running was in 2017.

Inaugurated as the Miami Breeders' Cup Handicap in 1987, it has been raced at various distances:

  • About 1+18 miles: 1987–1989, 1992–1993
  • 1+18 miles : 1990–1991, 1994–1996
  • 1 mile : 1997–present

The race was run on dirt in 1990 and 1991. In 2003, the race also had to be shifted from the turf to the dirt due to weather considerations but maintained its Grade III status.

In 2015, this race began to run at Gulfstream Park.
