Ambiguity (1950 – after 1971) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare best known for winning the 1953 Epsom Oaks. After finishing unplaced on her only start as a two-year-old she improved to become a top-class stayer in 1953. She won the White Rose Stakes, Oaks Stakes and Jockey Club Cup as well as finishing second in the Cheshire Oaks and the Oxfordshire Stakes. After her retirement from racing she had some success as a broodmare.

Ambiguity was a bay mare with a white face and four white socks bred in England by her owner William Astor, 3rd Viscount Astor. An unusual feature of her appearance, apart from her extensive white markings, was that her left eye was pale blue in colour. The filly was sent into training with Robert John "Jack" Colling at West Ilsley in Berkshire.

She was from the seventh crop of foals sired by Big Game the best British colt of his generation, whose wins included the 2000 Guineas and the Champion Stakes. As a breeding stallion, his other progeny included Combat and the 1000 Guineas winner Queenpot. Ambiguity's dam Amber Flash was a high-class stayer who defeated Chamossaire in the 1945 Jockey Club Cup and was a daughter of Traffic Light, an even better racemare whose wins included the Coronation Stakes and the Park Hill Stakes. Traffic Light's dam Point Duty (foaled 1926) was an influential broodmare whose other descendants have included Mannamead, Sodium, Madelia, Black Caviar and Solow.
