Festoon (1951–1973) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and boodmare best known for winning the 1000 Guineas in 1954 and setting a world record when being sold at auction later that year. In a racing career which lasted from autumn 1953 to July 1954 the filly ran seven times and won three races. After winning her only race as a two-year-old Festoon won the Classic 1000 Guineas over one mile at Newmarket Racecourse the following spring.
