Shareta (foaled 8 May 2008) is an Irish-bred, French-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. She was a top-class middle-distance runner who showed her best form on good or firm ground. After finishing second on her only start as a juvenile she won three races including the Prix de Thiberville and Prix Minerve in 2011 and came second in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. She went on to greater success in 2012 when she recorded Group One victories in the Yorkshire Oaks and the Prix Vermeille. She was retired from racing after finishing unplaced on her only start in 2013.

Shareta is a dark bay or brown mare with a small white star bred in Ireland by her owner the Aga Khan. She was sired by Sinndar, who won The Derby, Irish Derby and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in 2000. The best of his other progeny were probably Youmzain and Shawanda (winner of the Irish Oaks and Prix Vermeille and the dam of Encke). Shareta's dam Shawara won the Listed Prix Lieurey in 2001 and was a daughter of Shamawna, making her a half-sister to Shawanda.

Shareta was sent into training with Alain de Royer-Dupre and was ridden in all but one of her races by Christophe Lemaire.

Shareta made her only appearance as a two-year-old on 31 October 2010 in the Prix Tenebreuse for previously unraced fillies over 1600 metres at Saint-Cloud Racecourse. Racing on heavy ground she started at odds of 7/2 and finished second of the fourteen runners, four lengths behind the winner La Teranga.
