Aljabr is a retired American-bred Thoroughbred racehorse and active sire who was trained in England and Dubai during a racing career which lasted from 1998 to 2000. He was named European Champion Two-Year-Old Colt for 1998, a year in which he was unbeaten in three starts including the Group One Prix de la Salamandre and the Group Three Vintage Stakes. Training problems restricted Aljabr to only six races in the next two seasons, but he won the Sussex Stakes as a three-year-old and the Lockinge Stakes at four.

Aljabr, a "tall, lengthy" grey horse, was bred in Lexington, Kentucky by the Shadwell Stud, the breeding operation of Hamdan Al Maktoum. Aljabr’s sire the double American Champion Storm Cat was a highly successful stallion, producing the winners of more than 60 Conditions races/Grade I including Cat Thief and Tabasco Cat in the United States and Giant's Causeway in Europe. Aljabr’s dam Sierra Madre, from whom he inherited his grey coat, was a top-class racemare, winning the Prix Marcel Boussac and the Prix Vermeille.

Aljabr was trained throughout his career by Saeed bin Suroor, spending his summers in England and his winters in Dubai as part of the Godolphin Racing team. He was ridden in seven of his nine races by the Godolphin stable jockey Frankie Dettori.
