The Tokyo City Cup Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually at the beginning of April at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California. A Grade III event raced on dirt at a distance of 1 ¹⁄₂ miles (12 furlongs), it is open to horses aged four and older.

Run as the San Bernardino Handicap prior to 2005, the race's name honors the partnership between Santa Anita Park and Ohi Racecourse in Tokyo, Japan.

The race was open to three-year-olds only in 1957 and for three-year-olds and up from 1958 through 1967. Raced on dirt at 1 ¹⁄₁₆ miles from 1957 through 1966 and on turf at 1 ¹⁄₈ miles from 1967 through 1972 and 1974 through 1978 at which point it switched back to dirt.

1 ¹⁄₁₆ miles : 1957-1966 on dirt
1 ¹⁄₈ miles : 1967-1972, 1974-1978 on turf
1 ¹⁄₈ miles : 1979-2007 on dirt
1 ¹⁄₂ miles : 2008 on dirt
