This article is about the former Florida Stallion Stakes thoroughbred horse race at Calder Race Course. For the Los Angeles Turf Club thoroughbred horse race with similar name held at Santa Anita Park, see Affirmed Stakes (LATC).

The Affirmed Stakes was a former race in the Florida Stallion Stakes series, run as the second leg. Inaugurated in 1982, the race was named after the Florida-bred Triple Crown winner Affirmed, who was well known for his rivalry with the west coast-bred Alydar. The race was originally run at 6 furlongs but it was quickly increased to 7 furlongs in order to create a gradually increasing set of lengths throughout the series to allow the young horses to step up to each new length as they moved through their training. The Affirmed Stakes has run in two divisions on four separate occasions (1985–1987 and 2001). The race was discontinued in 2012.
