I'll Have Another (foaled April 1, 2009) is a North American Thoroughbred race horse, bred in Kentucky, owned by Canadian businessman J. Paul Reddam and trained by Doug O'Neill. In May 2012, ridden by Mario Gutierrez, he won the first two legs of the Triple Crown by taking the Kentucky Derby with a time of 2:01.83. and the Preakness Stakes in 1:55.94. On the day before the Belmont Stakes, he was scratched due to tendonitis, ending his chances of winning the Triple Crown, and retired from racing.

I'll Have Another is a chestnut horse sired by the Travers Stakes winner Flower Alley. Flower Alley's sire, Distorted Humor, was also the sire of 2003 Kentucky Derby winner Funny Cide. In September 2010, as a yearling, I'll Have Another was sent to the Keeneland sales where he was bought for $11,000 by Victor M. Davila. Davila, an exercise rider, broke and trained the colt before selling him as a two-year-old to J. Paul Reddam for $35,000 at the Ocala Breeder's sale. According to Reddam, the colt's name is inspired by his reply when his wife asks if he wants more of her fresh-baked cookies: "I'll Have Another."

After winning on his racecourse debut in July 2011, I'll Have Another finished second to Creative Cause in the Grade II Best Pal Stakes at Del Mar in August. He ran sixth of the ten runners behind Currency Swap in the Grade I Hopeful Stakes on a sloppy track at Saratoga.
