Petingo (1965–1976) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a racing career which lasted from June 1967 until August 1968 he ran nine times and won six races. In 1967 he was unbeaten in three starts including the Gimcrack Stakes and the Middle Park Stakes and was officially rated the best two-year-old in Britain. In the following year he was defeated by Sir Ivor in the 2000 Guineas but won the St. James's Palace Stakes and the Sussex Stakes. He was then retired to stud where he proved to be a very successful stallion before his death at the age of eleven.

Petingo was a big, powerfully-built bay horse with a white blaze and white socks on his hind legs. He was bred by Nicholas Hall's Pinfold Stud at Marthall, near Knutsford in Cheshire. He was sired by Petition, whose wins included the Eclipse Stakes and who was best known at stud for getting the outstanding filly Petite Etoile. His dam, Alcazar was a French-bred daughter of the Ascot Gold Cup winner Alycidon and won one minor race at Newmarket Racecourse. As a descendant of the broodmare Straight Sequence, she came from the same branch of Thoroughbred family 22 which produced Queenpot (1000 Guineas), Northjet (Prix Jacques le Marois, Prix du Moulin) and Flying Paster.
