The Laurel Futurity is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually in late November at Laurel Park Racecourse in Laurel Maryland. Run over a distance of 1 1/16 miles on turf at one time it was a Grade I stakes race on dirt and one of the richest and most important races for two-year-old American thoroughbreds. When the race was moved from the dirt to the turf in 2005 it lost its graded status and was subsequently ineligible for grading in 2006.
