The Correction Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually now running in March at Aqueduct Racetrack in Ozone Park, Queens, New York. A non-graded stakes race for fillies and mares age three and older, it is raced on dirt over a distance of six furlongs. It currently offers a purse of $100,000.

Inaugurated in 1940 at Jamaica Race Course following that track's closure, the race was moved to its current location at Aqueduct Racetrack. The race was named in honor of Correction, a filly owned by John Morris and his son, Alfred and trained by U. S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, Wyndham Walden.

In 1952, the race was open to fillies and mares. In 1954, it was run in two divisions.
