Colorspin (16 March 1983 – 14 August 2012) was a French-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. She showed great promise as a two-year-old in 1985 when she won both of her races in convincing fashion. In the following year she finished third in the Musidora Stakes and fourth in The Oaks before recording her biggest success with an easy win in the Irish Oaks. She was beaten in her two remaining starts and was retired racing at the end of the year.
She became an outstanding broodmare, producing the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner Opera House, the dual Ascot Gold Cup winner Kayf Tara and the Prix de l'Opéra winner Zee Zee Top.
