West Australian (1850-1870) was a British-bred Thoroughbred racehorse who won the first Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing. Sold in 1854 to Lord Londesbury for breeding purposes, in 1860 West Australian was purchased by Charles Auguste Louis Joseph, duc de Morny and brought to France where he shortly sold him to his half-brother, the Emperor Napoleon III.

West Australian is the grandsire of the 1877 Kentucky Derby winner, Baden-Baden. West Australian died in France on May 2, 1870.
