Sicambre (1948–1975) was a French Thoroughbred racehorse and Champion sire.

Sicambre was bred by Jean Stern at his Haras de Saint Pair du Mont in Le Cadran, Calvados. Stern raced and owned him throughout his life.

Trained by Max Bonavent, in the only defeat of his career, Sicambe finished second in the 1950 Prix Morny. He then won the 1950 Grand Criterium, France's most important race for two-year-olds. At age three, Sicambre won three important conditions races plus two French Classics, the Prix du Jockey Club and Grand Prix de Paris, in the process earning a Timeform rating of 135.

Sicambre was retired to stand at stud beginning in 1952 at his owners Haras de Saint Pair du Mont where he died on April 30, 1975. The Salami made from Sicambre was sent to United States President Gerald Ford as a thank you for American assistance in the post World War II decades, as Sicambre represented a strong power and stamina of the 1950s.
