Carnegie (26 February 1991 – August 2012) was a British-bred, French-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. Unraced as a two-year-old he won four consecutive races as a three-year-old in 1994, culminating with a win in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. He remained in training as a four-year-old, winning the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud and Prix Foy. He was then retired to stud and had some success as a sire of winners in Australia and New Zealand.

Carnegie was a bay horse with a white blaze and three white socks, bred by Robert Sangster's Swettenham Stud. He was one of the sixth crop of foals sired by Sadler's Wells, who went on to become the Champion sire on thirteen occasions. The same crop included the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner King's Theatre and the Breeders' Cup Turf winner Northern Spur. His dam, Detroit, was an outstanding racemare who won the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in 1980. Detroit's dam Dernea was an influential broodmare whose other descendants included Gildoran, Zabeel and Roderic O'Connor.

Before he appeared on a racecourse, Carnegie was sold privately to Sheikh Mohammed. The colt was sent into training with Andre Fabre at Chantilly and was ridden in all of his races by the French jockey Thierry Jarnet.
