Mon Talisman (1924 – ca. 1940) was a French Thoroughbred racehorse. He was unraced as a two-year-old but made an immediate impact as a three-year-old in 1927, winning his first four races, the Prix Juigne, Prix Daru, Prix Lupin and Prix du Jockey Club. After being beaten by Fiterari in the Grand Prix de Paris he returned in the autumn to win the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. He won the Prix du Président de la République on his only appearance in 1928 and was then retired to stud. He had moderate success as a breeding stallion before his disappearance in 1940.
Mon Talisman was a bay horse with a narrow white blaze bred in France by Guillermo Ham. He was sired by Craig an Eran, the winner of the 1921 2000 Guineas and Eclipse Stakes, His grandsire Sunstar won the 2000 Guineas and Epsom Derby in 1911 before becoming a successful stud; apart from Craig an Eran, notable offspring included the 1917 Epsom Oaks Sunny Jane. Mon Talisman's dam Ruthene was a half-sister of the leading sprinter Ethnarch and a great-granddaughter of Scene, an influential broodmare whose other descendants have included Animal Kingdom.
During his racing career, Mon Talisman was owned by the Argentinian Miguel Edouard Martinez de Hoz and was trained in France by Frank Carter.
Mon Talisman was unraced as a two-year-old and began his racing career with a win in the Prix Juigné over 2100 metres at Longchamp Racecourse. On his next appearance, the colt won the Prix Daru (a race for three-year-olds whose dams had not been bred in France) over the same course and distance. In May, Mon Talisman won again, taking the Prix Lupin at Longchamp.
