Mohaymen (foaled May 2, 2013) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse. As a two-year-old in 2015 he was unbeaten in three races including the Nashua Stakes and the Remsen Stakes. In the following year he established himself as a leading contender for the Kentucky Derby with wins in the Holy Bull Stakes and the Fountain of Youth Stakes

Mohaymen is a gray colt (officially "gray or roan"), bred in Kentucky by Clearsky Farms. He was sired by Tapit, who won the Wood Memorial Stakes and started second favorite for the 2004 Kentucky Derby. Tapit has become a successful breeding stallion with other progeny including Hansen, Untapable, Stardom Bound and Tonalist.

Mohaymen's dam Justwhistledixie was a successful racemare whose wins included the Davona Dale Stakes and the Bonnie Miss Stakes in 2009. Mohaymen was her third foal, the first being New Year's Day who won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile in 2013. Justwhistledixie was a descendant of the American broodmare Bold Irish who was the female line ancestor of numerous major winners including Ruffian, Pine Bluff and Fusaichi Pegasus.

In September 2014 the yearling was consigned to the Keeneland sales and was bought for $2.2 million by Hamdan Al Maktoum's Shadwell Estate Co.. The colt was sent into training with Kiaran McLaughlin. Mohaymen (مهیمن) is an Arabic word meaning "dominant".
