Falbrav (foaled 28 February 1998) is a retired Thoroughbred racehorse and active sire, bred in Ireland but trained in Italy and the United Kingdom during his racing career which ran from 2000 to 2004. He is notable for having won Group One/Grade I races in five different countries: the Premio Presidente della Repubblica and the Gran Premio di Milano in Italy; the Japan Cup in Japan; the Prix d'Ispahan in France; the Eclipse Stakes, the Juddmonte International Stakes and the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes in the United Kingdom and the Hong Kong Cup in Hong Kong.

Falbrav, a "massive, bull-like" bay horse with three white feet and a small star, was bred in Ireland by the Italian Azienda Agricola Francesca. He was from one of the last groups of foals sired by the Northern Dancer stallion Fairy King out of the Slewpy mare Gift of the Night. Apart from Falbrav, Fairy King, who died in 1999, sired the winners of over five-hundred races, including Helissio (Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe) and Oath (Derby).

Falbrav was first put into training with Luciano D'Auria at Bellinzago Lombardo in Italy, but was moved to the English stable of Luca Cumani in early 2003.
