Pasch (1935–1939) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire, best known for winning the classic 2000 Guineas in 1938, a year in which he started favourite for all three legs of the Triple Crown. In a brief racing career which lasted from April to October of his three-year-old season, he ran six times, recording three wins, one second, and two third places. Apart from his win in the Guineas, he won the Eclipse Stakes and was placed in the Epsom Derby, St Leger Stakes and Champion Stakes. He was then retired to stud but died after siring a single crop of foals.

Pasch bay horse with a narrow white blaze and one white foot bred his owner Henry E. Morriss, a Shanghai-based bullion broker. He was sired by Blandford, a highly successful breeding stallion whose other notable winners included Bahram, Windsor Lad, Blenheim, Trigo and Brantome. Pasch's dam Pasca was a daughter of Morriss's Derby winner Manna out of the mare Soubriquet, a half-sister of Fifinella. Soubriquet was a high class runner in her own right, winning five races and finishing second in both the 1000 Guineas and the Epsom Oaks. At the end of her racing career she was bought by Morriss for 12,500 guineas to become a broodmare. Pasca won two minor races and also produced Pasqua, the dam of the Derby winner Pinza. Morriss sent the colt into training with Fred Darling at his stable at Beckhampton in Wiltshire. At Darling's stable, Pasch was lodged in the box which had previously been occupied by the Derby winners Coronach and Manna.
