Fame and Glory (born 2006) is an Irish Thoroughbred horse whose wins include the Criterium de Saint-Cloud, Irish Derby, Tattersalls Gold Cup, Coronation Cup and Ascot Gold Cup.

Fame and Glory is a bay horse bred by the Coolmore Stud. He was sired by the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Montjeu. During his racing career he was registered as beingowned by Derrick Smith, Sue Magnier, Michael Tabor and Mrs F Hay. He was trained at Ballydoyle by Aidan O'Brien.

Fame and Glory began his racing career by winning a maiden race at Navan Racecourse on 22 October 2008. He was then sent to France and moved up markedly in class to contest the Group One Criterium de Saint-Cloud. Racing over 2000 metres on heavy ground he was ridden by Johnny Murtagh and won by half a length from his stable companion Drumbeat.

At three, he went to Epsom via the same route as the previous stablemate Derby winner Galileo and High Chaparral, winning the Ballysax Stakes and Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial in Ireland. He ran second behind Sea The Stars in the Epsom Derby.

In June 2009, the horse won the Irish Derby, the 8-11 favourite, ridden by Johnny Murtagh, took up the running from stablemate Golden Sword (11-1) with 300m to go and won by five lengths. He then ran second behind Sea The Stars in the Irish Champion Stakes before finishing unplaced in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and Champion Stakes.
