Pig racing is a sport in which juvenile pigs race around a small track. This racing is usually purely for entertainment, and betting is not part of it. It is often one of the attractions at county fairs.

Pig racing is most popular in the Southern United States. The city of Charlotte, North Carolina will occasionally host pig races before other sporting events.
