Raintrap (foaled 1990 in Great Britain) is a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire.

Raintrap was a chestnut horse bred in England by his owner Khalid Abdullah's Juddmonte Farms. He was sired by Rainbow Quest who won the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe before becoming a very successful breeding stallion. Rainbow Quest's other progeny included Quest for Fame, Saumarez, Sunshack, Nedawi, Armiger, Spectrum and Millenary. Sunshack's dam Suntrap was a successful racemare who won three minor races and finished third in both the Prix d'Aumale and the Lupe Stakes. As a broodmare went on to produce Raintrap's full-brother Sunshack. Raintrap was sent into training with Andre Fabre in France.

Raintrap made his racing debut on April 24, 1993, with a second-place finish in a three-horse field in the Prix Le Pacha at Saint-Cloud Racecourse. He then won three races in a row: the Prix Nimbus, the G3 Prix Berteux, and the G2 Prix Kergorlay. In October at Longchamp Racecourse in Paris, he ran second in the Prix de Lutece, then won the G1 Prix Royal Oak.
