Stravinsky (1 March 1996 – 21 November 2023) was an American-bred, Irish-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a racing career from August 1998 until November 1999, he ran eight times and won three races. He showed promising form as a two-year-old and was regarded as a serious contender for the British Classic Races. However, he ran disappointingly over distances of seven furlongs and one mile in early 1999. He reverted to sprint distances to record impressive wins in the July Cup and the Nunthorpe Stakes, earning the title of European Champion Sprinter. At the end of the season, he retired to stud where he had some success as a sire of winners.
