Timber Country (foaled 1992 in Kentucky, died February 24, 2016) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who was the first horse to ever win the Breeders' Cup Juvenile then go on to win one of the U.S. Triple Crown races for three-year-olds.

Out of the mare Fall Aspen, his sire was Woodman, a Champion 2-year-old colt in Ireland who was a son of the very influential Champion sire Mr. Prospector. Woodman also sired Preakness and Belmont Stakes winner Hansel, as well as the 1999 Canadian Champion 3-Year-Old Colt and Queen's Plate winner, Woodcarver. Timber Country is closely related to the Dubai World Cup winner, Dubai Millennium, who was sired by a son of Mr. Prospector out of a daughter of Fall Aspen.

Bought as a yearling for $500,000 by a partnership between Overbrook Farm, Gainesway Stable, Robert & Beverly Lewis, Timber Country was trained by future U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee D. Wayne Lukas. Racing at age two in California, the colt won four of his seven starts. At Del Mar Racetrack, he won the Balboa Stakes and was third in the Del Mar Futurity. Sent East, Timber Country won the Grade I Champagne Stakes at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York. His victory made him the betting favorite for the most important race of the year for his age group, the Breeders' Cup Juvenile. In that race, Timber Country came from well back to win going away. His 1994 performances earned him U.S. Champion 2-Yr-Old Colt honors.
