Shavian (foaled 31 March 1987) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He showed his best form over one mile and usually ran his races from the front. As a two-year-old in 1989 he showed promising form, winning the second of his two starts. In the following year he was beaten twice in spring but then established himself as a top-class miler with wins in the St James's Palace Stakes and the Celebration Mile. He was retired at the end of the year and stood as a breeding stallion in Europe and Japan, but had little success as a sire of winners.
