Destiny (1833 – after 1852) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare who won the classic 1000 Guineas at Newmarket Racecourse in 1836. In a racing career which lasted from September 1835 until April 1837, the filly raced eleven times and won three times. Destiny's only competitive victories came at the First Spring meeting at Newmarket in 1836, when she won a Sweepstakes and the 1000 Guineas: her only other success was a walkover at Lincoln Racecourse that autumn. Although she finished second in the Epsom Oaks never finished worse than third in her career, she was regarded as a sub-standard classic winner. She made little impression at stud.

Destiny was a chestnut mare bred by Thomas Houldsworth of Farnsfield in Nottinghamshire. She was the fifth foal produced by Houldsworth's mare Fanny Davies, a winner of the Gold Cup at Pontefract. Fanny Davies was the grand-daughter of an unnamed mare by Hyacinthus who is regarded as the foundation mare of Thoroughbred family 2-f.

Destiny was sired by Sultan a descendant of the Byerley Turk who was British champion sire for six successive season from 1832 to 1837. Apart from Destiny he sired seven classic winners including the Bay Middleton, Galata, Glencoe, Green Mantle, Achmet, Ibrahim and Augustus.
