Wemyss Bight (6 April 1990 – April 2009) was a British-bred, French-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. She was successful in her only start as a two-year-old in 1992 and developed into a top-class middle-distance performer in the following year. She won the Prix Penelope, Prix Cleopatre and Prix de Malleret in France before recording her biggest win in the Irish Oaks and also finished second in the Prix Vermeille. After being retired from racing she became a successful broodmare, producing the Arlington Million winner Beat Hollow. She died in April 2009 at the age of 19.

Wemyss Bight was a bay mare with a white blaze and a white sock on her right hind leg bred in England by her owner Khalid Abdullah's Juddmonte Farms. During her racing career she was trained in France by Andre Fabre. She was named after a town on Eleuthera in the Bahamas.

Her sire Dancing Brave was the most highly rated British racehorse of the 1980s winning a series of major races culminating in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. At stud, he was a modest success, siring the Group One winners Commander in Chief, White Muzzle, Ivanka and Cherokee Rose before being sold and exported to Japan in 1991. Wemyss Bight's dam Bahamian was a high class staying mare who won the Lingfield Oaks Trial and was placed in the Prix de l'Esperance (finished first, disqualified), Prix de Pomone and Park Hill Stakes. As a broodmare, her other descendants have included Oasis Dream, Zenda and Kingman.
