The Prix Miesque is a Group 3 flat horse race in France open to two-year-old thoroughbred fillies. It is run at Maisons-Laffitte over a distance of 1,400 metres (about 7 furlongs), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late October or early November.

The event is named after Miesque, a successful French-trained filly in the late 1980s. It was established in 2001, and the inaugural running was won by Contemporary.

The Prix Miesque replaced the Prix Saint-Roman, a race last staged in 2000. Its predecessor was traditionally contested by juveniles of either gender, but was restricted to fillies in its last three years.
