Singspiel (born 1992) is an Irish-bred Thoroughbred racehorse. The Bay horse was a grandson of Sadler's Wells. Only modestly successful as a three-year-old in 1995 where he had a 2nd place finish in the Grand Prix de Paris, Singspiel had highly successful 1996 and 1997 campaigns.
Racing as a four-year-old, Singspiel finished 2nd in the 1996 Breeders' Cup Turf to Pilsudski but the next year was an early favorite to win the race but had to be withdrawn due to a condylar fracture of his right front leg. He was retired after the 1997 season and was sent to Sheikh Mohammed's Dalham Hall Stud near Newmarket, England to stand at stud. Among Singspiel's offspring is Moon Ballad who won the 2003 Dubai World Cup.
