Hurricane Run (2002–2016) was a world champion Irish-bred thoroughbred racehorse. He was the second French-trained horse, after his sire Montjeu to win both the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

Hurricane Run was trained by André Fabre and ridden in most of his races by jockey Kieren Fallon for owner Michael Tabor.

Hurricane Run was bred by German breeders Gestüt Ammerland and bought by Tabor in May 2005. The colt was a son of champion Montjeu out of a German-bred dam, Hold On.

Hurricane Run was voted the Cartier Racing Award for European Horse of the Year and was the "World's Top Ranked Horse" for 2005 plus the "World's Top Ranked Long Distance Horse" as compiled by the World Thoroughbred Racehorse Rankings. Hurricane Run lost only one race in 2005 when his late charge from behind a wall of horses just failed to catch the winner in the Prix du Jockey Club over a trip of 10 furlongs.

During 2005, Hurricane Run won two Group 1 and two Group 2 races. His victories included the prestigious Irish Derby at the Curragh and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at the Hippodrome de Longchamp in Paris. His two length win was rated the best performance during the year by the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities. He was scheduled to run at Belmont Park in New York in October in the 2005 Breeders' Cup Turf but was sidelined with health problems.
