The Arran Scottish Fillies' Sprint Stakes is a Listed flat horse race in Great Britain open to mares and fillies aged three years or older. It is run at Ayr over a distance of 5 furlongs and 110 yards (1,106 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in September. It is currently held on the second day of Ayr's three-day Ayr Gold Cup Festival (previously the Western Meeting).[1]

The race was introduced as a new Listed race in 2017[2] but the scheduled first running was abandoned due to waterlogging.[3] The race was rescheduled and run at Musselburgh in October over the slightly shorter distance of 5 furlongs.[4]
