Henry Forrest (July 7, 1907 - April 5, 1975) was an American Hall of Fame trainer of Thoroughbred racehorses who twice won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes.
Henry Forrest was born in Covington, Kentucky and began his career near Lexington breaking yearlings for Col. E. R. Bradley's . He embarked on a professional training career in 1937 that would mainly involve operating public stables but also for renowned Kentucky owners, Claiborne and Calumet Farm. In 1966, Forrest won the first two legs of the U.S. Triple Crown races with Kauai King. He repeated the feat two years later in 1968 with Forward Pass who would receive American Champion Three-Year-Old Male Horse honors.
