Fiorente (foaled 2008) is a Thoroughbred racehorse bred in Ireland and trained in Australia. When racing in Europe, he showed high-class form, winning the Princess of Wales's Stakes in 2012. He had greater success when campaigned in Australia, winning the Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes and the Melbourne Cup in 2013. In 2014 he won the St George Stakes and the Australian Cup.

Fiorente is a brown horse bred in Ireland by the County Meath-based Ballymacoll Stud. He was sired by Monsun, who won the Europa Preis twice and became a successful breeding stallion, siring Shirocco, Manduro, Estimate and Stacelita.

Fiorente was originally trained by Sir Michael Stoute at Newmarket, Suffolk. Unraced as a two-year-old, he ran four times as a three-year-old in 2011. He won a maiden race at Newbury Racecourse and finished second in both the Group Two King Edward VII Stakes (beaten five lengths by Nathaniel) and the Group Three Gordon Stakes.

In the following year he ran five times, recording his most important victory in the Princess of Wales's Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse in July.
