Robert Wyndham Walden (1843 – April 28, 1905) was one of the most successful trainers in thoroughbred horse racing during the last quarter of the 19th century.
Known by his middle name, Wyndham, in 1872 Walden and his wife Caroline moved from New York City to Middleburg in Carroll County, Maryland where they established "Bowling Brook Farm" to breed and train thoroughbred race horses.
Wyndham Walden trained his first Preakness Stakes winner in 1875, Tom Ochiltree, then two years later began a streak of five straight victories, all of which came with horses owned by George L. Lorillard. Walden won the Preakness for a seventh time in 1888 with his own horse, Refund. The win set a record for a trainer which still stands. During a career spanning thirty-one years between 1872 and 1902, he also won the Belmont Stakes four times and trained more than 100 Stakes race winners.
In 1899, his son Robert J. Walden won the Kentucky Derby with Manuel, owned by the Morris brothers, Alfred and Dave.
