Ramruma is a retired Thoroughbred racehorse who was bred in the United States, but trained in the United Kingdom during a racing career which lasted from September 1998 until September 2000. In 1999, Ramruma won five of her six races including three Group One races: the Epsom Oaks and the Irish Oaks against other three-year-old fillies and the Yorkshire Oaks in which she also defeated older fillies and mares. Her performances led to Ramruma being named European Champion Two-Year-Old Filly at the Cartier Racing Awards. She was retired after failing to win in three starts as a four-year-old in 2000.

Ramruma, a small, lightly-built chestnut filly with a white star, was bred at the Kentucky branch of her owner, Fahd bin Salman’s Newgate Stud, sired by Diesis out of the mare Princess of Man. Diesis won the rare double of the Middle Park Stakes and the Dewhurst Stakes in 1982, before becoming an “excellent” sire, producing the winners of at least 25 Group One races including Halling, Diminuendo and Elmaamul. Princess of Man was a successful racemare winning the Musidora Stakes in 1978. In addition to Ramruma she was the dam of the Lingfield Oaks Trial winner Ausherra.

The filly was sent into training with Henry Cecil at the Warren Place stable at Newmarket, Suffolk.

"Ramruma" was the pet name of Fahd bin Salman's youngest daughter Reema.
