Shinzan(シンザン, 2 April 1961 - 13 July 1996) was a thoroughbred racehorse that won the Japanese Triple Crown.

Sired by Irish Derby winner Hindostan and out of the Japanese dam Hayanobori, he is the best Japanese racehorse of the post-war era and became the first horse to win all 5 big titles of Japan including the Japanese Triple Crown.

Shinzan was born on April 2, 1961 in the Hokkaidō Prefecture. He became the second horse to win the Japanese Triple Crown and was named Japanese Horse of the Year in 1964. Shinzan won the Arima Kinen, Takarazuka Kinen and Tenno Sho Autumn as a four-year-old, defending his Horse of the Year title.

He was also successful sire in Japan. His most successful offspring was Miho Shinzan (ミホシンザン) who won the Japanese 2,000 Guineas, Japanese St. Leger, and the Tenno Sho Spring.

Shinzan died in Hokkaidō on July 13, 1996 at the age of 35.
