Indian Skimmer (12 February 1984 – c. 2002) was an American-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. Trained by Sir Henry Cecil, she was the winner of nine high-class races in Europe, including the French Oaks, the Champion Stakes and the Irish Champion Stakes. Indian Skimmer was one of the top-rated fillies in Europe since World War II.
