Kingarvie (foaled 1943) was a Canadian Hall of Fame Thoroughbred racehorse. Owned and bred by the renowned automobile pioneer, Col. Sam McLaughlin, he was out of the mare, Forsworn. He was sired by Teddy Wrack who was a son of Bull Dog, a Champion American sire whose progeny included the very important Bull Lea.
Trained by Arthur Brent, in his first two races at age two Kingarvie was beaten by fellow future Hall of Fame inductee, Windfields. He then went on a ten-race winning streak that extended into 1946 which included the 87th running of the King's Plate, Canada's most prestigious race.
A gelding, Kingarvie continued racing until 1953 when he was retired at age ten. In 1976 Kingarvie was part of the inaugural class inducted in the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame.
