Sporting Yankee (foaled 31 January 1974) was an American-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. He showed great promise as a two-year-old in 1976 when he won two of his three races including the Group One William Hill Futurity. In the following year he ran poorly when strongly-fancied for the 2000 Guineas but won the March Stakes and finished second in both the Craven Stakes and the Geoffrey Freer Stakes. He failed to win in four races in 1978 and was retired from racing to become a breeding stallion in Brazil.
