Our Conor (28 April 2009 – 11 March 2014) was an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse best known for his performances in hurdle racing. As a four-year-old he won the Grade I Spring Juvenile Hurdle and then recorded a fifteen-length win in the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. A year later he was fatally injured when falling in the Champion Hurdle.

Our Conor was a bay horse with a white blaze and four socks bred in County Meath by the Gerrardstown House Stud. He was sired by Jeremy, an American-bred horse who won the Jersey Stakes in 2006 and the Sandown Mile in the following year. Apart from Our Conor, the most successful of his progeny has been the Concorde Stakes winner Yellow Rosebud. Our Conor's dam Flamands won two races and was a granddaughter of Sweet Mimosa who won the Prix de Diane and was a full sister of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Levmoss and the dual Ascot Gold Cup winner Le Moss.

As a yearling colt, Our Conor was sent to the Tattersalls Ireland sales in September 2010 where he was bought for €4,500 by Noel Hayes. He entered the ownership of the Man About Town Syndicate and was sent into training with Dessie Hughes at The Curragh, County Kildare.
