The Keio Hai Nisai Stakes (Japanese 京王杯2歳ステークス) is a Grade 2 flat horse race in Japan for two-year-old Thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 1400 metres at Tokyo Racecourse in November.
The Keio Hai Nisai Stakes was first run in 1965 and was elevated to Grade 2 status in 1984. It was usually run at Nakayama Racecourse until 1979 and made a one-off return to that venue in 2002. It serves as a trial race for the 1600-meter Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes, which is considered the de facto year-end championship for Japanese thoroughbred racing in the two-year-olds division.
