Lupe (1967–1989) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse. In a racing career lasting from September 1969 until July 1971, the filly ran seven times and won six races. As a three-year-old she won the Oaks at Epsom and the Yorkshire Oaks at York before sustaining her only defeat in the Prix Vermeille. Lupe returned as a four-year-old and defeated colts to win the Coronation Cup and the Princess of Wales's Stakes. She was then retired to stud and became a successful broodmare.

Lupe was a bay filly bred at the Snailwell Stud in Newmarket. The stud was owned by Stanhope Joel, and Lupe raced in the colour's of Joel's wife, Gladys. The filly was bred for stamina: her sire Primera won the fourteen-furlong Ebor Handicap while her dam Alcoa, was an out-and-out stayer who won over two and a quarter miles and finished second in the Cesarewitch. As a descendant of the broodmare Tillywhim, Alcoa was a member of the same branch of Thoroughbred family 1-k which produced the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winners Levmoss and Three Troikas. Lupe was trained by Noel Murless at his Warren Place stables at Newmarket.

Lupe did not appear on the racecourse until the autumn of 1969 and ran only once as a two-year-old. At Doncaster in September, she won a maiden race over six furlongs.
