Congaree (born April 20, 1998) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse. He won the April 2001 Wood Memorial Stakes but in May's Kentucky Derby finished third while setting a record for the fastest opening mile in Derby history. He also finished third in the Preakness Stakes and did not compete in the longer Belmont Stakes.

Congaree went on to race very successfully at age four and five, becoming the first horse to win the Cigar Mile Handicap in consecutive years. He was retired at the end of the 2003 season to stand at stud at Frank Stronach's Adena Springs in Midway, Kentucky.
