Nonoalco (1971–1992) was an American-bred Thoroughbred racehorse who raced in France.
He was out of the mare Seximee, a daughter of the 1954 Preakness Stakes winner Hasty Road. His sire was the very important Nearctic, who also sired Northern Dancer, the 1964 Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Queen's Plate winner, who became the most influential sire of the 20th century.
Nonoalco was bred by American chocolate magnate Forrest Mars, whose mother Ethel V. Mars was a major Thoroughbred owner/breeder through her Milky Way Farm. Nonoalco was purchased and raced by María Félix, a Mexican actress and wife of French financier Alex Berger.
Trained by François Boutin, at age two Nonoalco had an outstanding year in racing. He won the Prix Yacowlef, Prix Morny and the Prix de la Salamandre, plus he finished second in the Grand Critérium to Nelson Bunker Hunt's colt, Mississipian.
