Marsyas (also known as Marsyas II 1940–30 May 1964) was a French Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He was the dominant stayer in France in the mid-1940s winning four consecutive editions of the 4000 metre Prix du Cadran between 1944 and 1947. He proved equally successful when campaigned in Britain in 1946. After winning seventeen of his twenty-seven races he was retired to stud where he had limited success as a sire of winners.
