Big Blue Kitten (foaled May 1, 2008) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse who specialises in turf races. Unraced as a juvenile, he finished third on his debut in 2011 and then went on a five race winning streak, culminating in a victory in the Grade II National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame Stakes. After winning one minor race as a four-year-old he emerged as a top-class turf performer in 2013 when his wins included the United Nations Stakes and the Sword Dancer Invitational Stakes. His only win of consequence in 2014 came in the Lure Stakes but he returned to his best as a seven-year-old in 2015 winning the Fort Marcy Handicap, a second United Nations Stakes and the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Invitational Stakes. Apart from his victories he finished second in the Arlington Million and third in the Breeders' Cup Turf. His performances earned him the title of American Champion Male Turf Horse for 2015.

Big Blue Kitten is a bay horse bred and owned by Kenneth and Sarah Ramsey. He was sired by the Ramsey stallion Kitten's Joy the U.S. Champion Male Turf Horse of 2004. His dam, Spent Gold made no impact on the track, failing to win in three races as a two-year-old in 1999. She was a granddaughter of Mystical Mood who won the Schuylerville Stakes and produced the Citation Handicap winner Fair Judgment.

The Ramseys sent their horse into training with Chad Brown. Although Big Blue Kitten is an entire male horse he is officially described as a ridgling, as he has an undescended testicle. The "Big Blue" part of his name is a reference to the sports teams of the University of Kentucky, Ken Ramsey's alma mater.
