Charming Thought (foaled 24 January 2012) is a British Thoroughbred racehorse. He showed his best form as a two-year-old in 2014. After finishing second on his debut he won two minor races and then recorded a 22/1 upset victory in the Middle Park Stakes. He then suffered from injury problems and did not run again until 2016 when he finished unplaced in three starts.

Charming Thought is a bay horse with a small white star bred in England by the Merry Fox Stud. As a yearling in October 2013 he was offered for sale at Tattersalls and bought for 625,000 guineas by John Ferguson Bloodstock, actin on behalf of Sheikh Mohammed's Godolphin organisation. The colt was sent into training with Charlie Appleby at Newmarket, Suffolk.

He was sired by Oasis Dream, a sprinter who won the July Cup and the Nunthorpe Stakes in 2003 before becoming a very successful breeding stallion. His other progeny have included Midday, Power and Muhaarar.

He was the first foal of Annabelle's Charm, who showed some ability as a racehorse, winning three of her fourteen races between 2008 and 2010 and was a granddaughter of Flamenco Wave, a lightly-raced but high-class performer who won the Moyglare Stud Stakes in 1988. Flamenco Wave was even better as a broodmare, producing several other winners including Aristotle, Starborough and Ballingarry. Her unraced daughter Leaping Water became the dam of St Nicholas Abbey. She was one of many good horses descended from the American broodmare Fleet Flight: others have included Almutawakel and White Muzzle.
