Be My Chief (7 May 1987 – 2006) was an American-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He was the leading British two-year-old in 1989 when he was undefeated in six races including the Chesham Stakes, Bernard Van Cutsem Stakes, Lanson Champagne Vintage Stakes, Solario Stakes and Racing Post Trophy, starting odds-on favourite on each occasion. He finished unplaced on his only run in 1990 and was retired to stud. He had some success as a sire of winners.

Be My Chief was a bay horse with a large white star four white socks bred in Kentucky by his owner Peter Burrell. He was from the first crop of foals sired by Chief's Crown who won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile and was voted American Champion Two-Year-Old Male Horse in 1984. He went on to sire several other major winners including Erhaab, Grand Lodge and Chief Bearheart. Be My Chief's dam Lady Be Mine won one minor race from four attempts as a three-year-old in England in 1981. She was a granddaughter of the broodmare My Game, whose other descendants have included Marwell, Marling, Paean and Unite.

Peter Burrell who ran the British National Stud brought the colt to race in Europe and sent him into training with Henry Cecil at the Warren Place stable in Newmarket, Suffolk.
