The Angels Flight Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually at Santa Anita Park in Inglewood, California. A Grade III event open to three-year-old fillies, it is contested on dirt over a distance of a six and one-half furlongs.

Inaugurated in 1963 as the Railbird Handicap at Hollywood Park Racetrack in Inglewood, California, it was a race for three-year-old horses of either sex until 1964 when it was changed to a race for fillies only. The event was originally named for railbirds, honoring those fans and/or handicappers who line the racetrack rail to be close to the race.

In 1965 the race was run in two divisions.
