Compton Admiral (foaled 11 January 1996) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire best known for his upset win over a strong field in the 1999 Eclipse Stakes. He showed promising form as a two-year-old in 1998 winning one of his four races and finishing second in both the Chesham Stakes and the Solario Stakes. In the following year he won the Craven Stakes on his debut but ran poorly in both the 2000 Guineas and the Epsom Derby before winning the Eclipse at odds of 20/1.
