Winged Love (foaled 15 April 1992, died 2015) is an Irish-bred, French-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire best known for his win in the 1995 Irish Derby. After winning one of his two races as a juvenile in 1994, the colt showed steady improvement in the early part of his three-year-old season, finishing second in his first two races before winning the Listed Prix de Suresnes. He finished a close third behind Celtic Swing in the Prix du Jockey Club before reversing the form to win the Irish Derby. He went on to finish fourth in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes and third in the Prix Niel and was retired from racing at the end of the year. He has subsequently become a successful sire of National Hunt horses.

Winged Love is a bay horse with a narrow white blaze and four white feet bred in Ireland by the bloodstock agent Eric Puerari. He was sired by In the Wings, a son of Sadler's Wells whose wins included the Coronation Cup, the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud and the Breeders' Cup Turf in America. At stud he also sired Singspiel, Mamool, Inglis Drever, Adlerflug (German Derby), Act One (Prix Lupin) and Kutub (Singapore Gold Cup). Winged Love's dam J'ai Deux Amours won one race and produced several other winners including Daiwa Caerleon who won at Grade II level in Japan. As a descendant of the broodmare Prompt Payment, J'ai Deux Amours was a distant relative of Chief Singer and Pleasantly Perfect
