Sea Chimes (foaled 8 March 1976) was an Irish-bred Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. Originally trained in the United Kingdom, he was beaten in all four of his races as a juvenile in 1978 and lost on his three-year-old debut. He won his four remaining races in 1979 including the King George V Stakes. In 1980 he took his winning sequence to eight with wins in the City and Suburban Handicap, Doncaster Spring Handicap, Clive Graham Stakes and Coronation Cup. He never won again, losing both his starts in Britain in 1981 and failing to win in twelve races after being transferred to the United States. He made no impact at stud and died in 1984.
