Shared Belief (February 15, 2011 – December 3, 2015) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse. As a two-year-old, he was undefeated in three races, including the Hollywood Prevue Stakes and Los Alamitos Futurity, and was named the American Champion Two-Year-Old Colt of 2013 at the Eclipse Awards.
As a three-year-old, an injury kept Shared Belief out of the 2014 Kentucky Derby, but he returned later in the year to win four races including the Los Alamitos Derby, Pacific Classic, and Awesome Again Stakes. He broke his undefeated record in the Breeders' Cup Classic by finishing fourth, but then returned to win the Malibu Stakes.
In 2015 he defeated champion California Chrome in the San Antonio Stakes and then won the Santa Anita Handicap, before being sidelined for the rest season with a hip injury.
Returning to the track in late 2015, he had promising workouts and was being prepared for a return to racing in 2016. He died unexpectedly on December 3, 2015, due to complications of colic. Emergency surgery was performed at the University of California-Davis School of Veterinary medicine, but surgeons were unable to save him.
