The Obeah Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually in mid June at Delaware Park Racetrack in Stanton, Delaware. Formerly a Grade III event, it is contested on dirt at a previous distance of a mile and an eighth (9 furlongs). The race is now one and one-sixteenth miles and permits horses three years and older to compete.[1]

The race is named in honor of Jane du Pont Lunger's filly, Obeah, winner of the Delaware Handicap in 1969 and 1970.
