The Diadem Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in the United Kingdom open to thoroughbreds which are three-years-old or above. It is run over a distance of 6 furlongs (1,207 metres) at Ascot Racecourse, and it takes place annually in late September.
It was first run in 1946, prior to which all racing at Ascot had been confined to the Royal meeting in June. It is named after Diadem, the winner of the 1,000 Guineas Stakes in 1917 and later a top class sprinter with frequent wins at Ascot. The race was promoted to Group 2 status in 1996, having been previously contested at Group 3 level.
