Bering (20 March 1983 – 16 December 2011) was a British-bred, French-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. He achieved five victories out of his seven starts, including a win in the Prix du Jockey Club in 1986. In his final race, he finished second to Dancing Brave in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Bering was bred and owned by Alec Head and trained by his daughter, Criquette Head. Following his retirement from racing, Bering had success as a stallion, siring notable progeny such as Pennekamp, the winner of the 2000 Guineas Stakes, and American Post, the victor of the Poule d'Essai des Poulains.
