The Prix Kergorlay is a Group 2 flat horse race in France open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older.
The event was established in 1864, and it was originally called the Prix de la Société d'Encouragement.
The inaugural running was part of Deauville's first ever race meeting, and the prize money for the winning owner was 5,100 francs.
The Prix Florian de Kergorlay was abandoned throughout World War I, and it returned with a distance of 3,000 metres in 1919.
The event's usual venue was closed during this period, so it was staged temporarily at Le Tremblay (1942–43) and Longchamp (1944–45).
