The Chukyo Nisai Stakes (Japanese 中京2歳ステークス) is a Grade 3 horse race for Thoroughbred horses aged two run in August over a distance of 1,400 meters at Chukyo Racecourse.

The race was first established in 1960 as Chukyo Sansai Stakes and was run at 1,200 meters. In 1971, the distance was changed to 1,400 meters and in 1982, it was changed again to 1,800 meters. The race was renamed to its current name in 2001 following the international standard for horse age notation. Due to snowfall in 2003, the race was run on the dirt course at the distance of 1,700 meters. The race was not run in 2010 and 2011 due to renovation work at Chukyo Racecourse. From 2012 until 2020, the distance changed to 1,400 meters, 1,600 meters, and finally 1,200 meters. In 2025, the race will be promoted to Grade 3 status and the distance will once again be changed to 1,400 meters.
