St. Paddy (1957–1984) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. His performances in both 1960 and 1961 were instrumental in making his sire Aureole the Leading sire in Great Britain & Ireland both years. St. Paddy was the winner of the 1960 Epsom Derby and St. Leger Stakes.

Owned and bred by Sir Victor Sassoon, he was out of the mare Edie Kelly and sired by Aureole, a winner of the Coronation Cup and King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. Edie Kelly, who ran 14 times winning one small apprentice handicap, later produced Parmeila, a filly who won the Ribblesdale Stakes and the Park Hill Stakes in 1970. St Paddy's grandsire, Hyperion, and his damsire, Bois Roussel, both won the Epsom Derby. St Paddy was bred and raised at his owner's Thornton Stud, Thornton-le-Street, North Yorkshire.
