The Hurricane Bertie Stakes is a Grade III American Thoroughbred horse race for fillies and mares that are four years old or older, over a distance of 6+12 furlongs on the dirt track held annually in March at Gulfstream Park, Hallandale Beach, Florida. The event currently carries a purse of $125,000.

The race was inaugurated in 2001 over a shorter distance of 6 furlongs[1] and named after the winning mare Hurricane Bertie[2] who won 14 races in her career including the Grade II Princess Rooney Stakes. The following year the event's distance was increased to 6+12 furlongs.[3]

The event was upgraded to a Grade III event in 2005.[4]

In 2015 the distance the event was increased to 7 furlongs[3] but in 2021 the distance was reverted to 6+12 furlongs.[4]
