Cellini (foaled 10 April 1971) was an American-bred, Irish-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. Bred in Kentucky he was sold for $240,000 as a yearling and sent to race in Europe. In 1973 he was one of the best colts of his generation in Britain and Ireland, winning all three of his races including the National Stakes and the Dewhurst Stakes. In the following spring he won the Vauxhall Trial Stakes and the Tetrarch Stakes but was beaten when favourite for both the Irish 2,000 Guineas and the St James's Palace Stakes. He was then retired to stud but proved infertile and was returned to the track, winning one minor race in 1976.
