Trillion (1974–1987) was a French Thoroughbred racing mare who was an Eclipse Award winner in the United States.

Bred in Kentucky by Texas oilman, Nelson Bunker Hunt, she was sired by Hail To Reason, the Leading sire in North America in 1970. Her dam, Margarethen, was a durable racing mare who won sixteen of sixty-four starts. Damsire Tulyar was an outstanding runner in England where his wins included the 1952 Epsom Derby, St. Leger Stakes, and King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

Raced by Nelson Bunker Hunt in partnership with long-time friend Edward L. Stephenson of Warrenton, Virginia, Trillion regularly competed against males in both Europe and the United States.

Trained by Maurice Zilber, in 1977 the three-year-old Trillion won the Group 3 Prix Minerve at Deauville-La Touques Racecourse and the Prix de Royallieu at Longchamp Racecourse in Paris. She notably finished second in two Group One races, the Prix Royal-Oak and Prix de Diane.
