Desmond (1896–1913) was a Thoroughbred racehorse that won the Coventry Stakes and July Stakes in 1898. The horse was owned by the fourth Earl of Dunraven during his racing career. Desmond died in 1913. He became British champion sire in 1913 when his son Aboyeur won the Derby, after the disqualification of Craganour (who was also sired by Desmond).
