Bahram (1932–1956) was an Irish-bred, English-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. He was undefeated in nine races in a career that lasted from July 1934 until September 1935. He was named "horse of the century". The leading British two-year-old of 1934, Bahram went on to take the Triple Crown in 1935 by winning the 2000 Guineas Stakes, Epsom Derby and St. Leger Stakes. He was retired to stud at the end of the year. After a promising start to his breeding career in Britain, he was exported to the United States, where he had moderate success before being exported again to Argentina.
