Lemon Souffle (22 February 1991–8 October 2001) was a European champion Thoroughbred racehorse, bred and trained in the United Kingdom. In the International Classification for 1993 she was the highest-rated two-year-old filly in Europe and was named European Champion Two-Year-Old Filly at the Cartier Racing Awards. In her championship year she won four of her five races including Cherry Hinton Stakes and the Moyglare Stud Stakes. She was also successful at three, winning the Falmouth Stakes. Lemon Souffle was kept in training at four but did not appear on the racecourse and was retired to stud. She was later sold to be a broodmare in Japan.

Lemon Souffle was sired by Salse, a grandson of Northern Dancer, out of the Busted mare Melodrama. She was bred by her owner, Lord Carnarvon at the Highclere Stud in Berkshire from a family which had been in his ownership for many generations.

Salse, the winner of the Prix de la Forêt in 1988, became a successful stallion, siring the winners of over three hundred races including eleven at Group One level. Although he showed his best form over seven furlongs, Salse was capable of producing horses who stayed much further, including Classic Cliche (St Leger, Gold Cup), Luso (Hong Kong Vase) and Timboroa (Turf Classic) as well as faster horses like Air Express (Queen Elizabeth II Stakes) and Lemon Souffle herself. Lemon Souffle's dam, Melodrama, won two races and also produced Caramba (by Belmez), winner of the Nassau Stakes and the Falmouth Stakes.
