Kala Dancer (17 April 1982 – 23 August 2004) was a British-bred Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. His reputation as a racehorse rested almost entirely on his upset win in the 1984 Dewhurst Stakes, which was sufficient to see him rated the best two-year-old of that year in Europe. He failed in his only start of 1985 and failed to make any impression when raced in the United States in 1986. He was subsequently exported to Australia, where he proved to be a successful breeding stallion.
