Aurelius (foaled 1958) was a Irish Thoroughbred racehorse and sire best known for winning the classic St Leger Stakes in 1961 and for becoming one of the few classic winners to compete in steeplechases. As a two-year-old he finished fourth in his only appearance but was one of the best colts in Britain in the following year winning the Craven Stakes and the King Edward VII Stakes before taking the St Leger.
