Roaring Lion (March 11, 2015 – August 23, 2019) was an American-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse.

He was the top-rated British-trained two-year-old of 2017. He won three races including the Royal Lodge Stakes and was only defeated narrowly in the Racing Post Trophy.

In the following year, he won the Dante Stakes, the Eclipse Stakes, International Stakes, Irish Champion Stakes and Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. He was euthanized following horse colic in Cambridge, New Zealand on August 23, 2019 at the age of four.[1]
