Zarathustra (1951 - 1967) was a black thoroughbred racehorse, born at Graymount in Antrim, Northern Ireland in 1951.

Owned by Terence Gray (Wei Wu Wei), it was first trained by Michael Hurley in Ireland, becoming the winner of the Irish Derby Stakes and the Irish St. Leger in 1954.

After its transfer to Newmarket, Suffolk in 1956, it was trained by Cecil Boyd-Rochfort winning the Ascot Stakes in 1956. In 1957, ridden by renowned jockey Lester Piggott, it won the Ascot Gold Cup in the first of Piggott's eleven wins of that race.

Exported to Japan in 1964, he died there in 1967.
