Scintillate (foaled 24 January 1976) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare best known for winning the classic Oaks Stakes in 1979. She showed promising form as a two-year-old although she failed to win in three races. After recording her first win in the Sandleford Priory Stakes in the following spring she won the Oaks as a 20/1 outsider. She ran poorly in two subsequent races and was retired to brood where she had limited success as a broodmare.

Scintillate was a dark-coated bay mare with a white star bred by the Fonthill Stud in Wiltshire which was managed by James Ian Morrison, the filly's owner throughout her racing career. She was from the second crop of foald sired by Sparkler who won the Queen Anne Stakes in 1972 and the Prix du Moulin in 1973, but produced arguably his best performance in defeat, when beaten a head by Brigadier Gerard in the St James's Palace Stakes. In his first season at stud, Sparkler had sired the 1000 Guineas winner Enstone Spark. Scintillate was the fifth foal of the outstanding broodmare Set Free who had previously produced the classic winners Juliette Marny (Oaks) and Julio Mariner (St Leger Stakes). The filly was sent into training with Jeremy Tree at Beckhampton in Wiltshire.
