The Queen City Pace was a Canadian harness race for three-year-old Standardbred pacers run each year at Greenwood Raceway in Toronto, Ontario. The Queen City Pace was run from 1964 through 1983 after which it was replaced by the North America Cup.

The race was run in two divisions in 1974 and 1975. In 1983, that year's race, which would be the last Queen City Pace, was won by Ralph Hanover who went on to win the U.S. Pacing Triple Crown.
