Desert Crown (2 March 2019 – 23 October 2023) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse. After winning his only race as a juvenile in 2021, he took the Dante Stakes on his three-year-old debut and then maintained his unbeaten record by winning the Epsom Derby. He ran only once more due to injury and was euthanised in October 2023 after failing to recover from a serious leg injury earlier that season.
