Pharamond (1925–1952) was an English Thoroughbred racehorse who became a successful sire of Champions in the United States where he was registered as Pharamond II. He was a full brother to Sickle, who also stood at stud successfully in the United States.
Pharamond was bred and raced by Edward Stanley, 17th Earl of Derby. His sire was Phalaris, twice the Leading sire in Great Britain and Ireland and a three-time Leading broodmare sire in Great Britain & Ireland. His dam was Selene who also produced the Argentine and leading Brazilian sire Hunter's Moon and Hyperion, the 1933 Epsom Derby and St. Leger Stakes winner and a six-time Leading sire in Great Britain and Ireland as well as a four-time Leading broodmare sire in Great Britain and Ireland.
Pharamond was raced by Lord Derby and trained by George Lambton. The colt met with some success on the turf, winning the 1927 Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse and under new trainer Frank Butters, the 1928 Ellesmere Stakes at Ascot Racecourse.
Retired to stud in 1928, Pharamond was low on the list of Lord Derby's stable of stallions and he was put up for sale and was purchased for £4,000 by a group of American breeders led by Hal Price Headley who brought him to stand at his Beaumont Farm in Lexington, Kentucky in time for the 1929 season.
