Papyrus (1920–1941) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a career that lasted from spring 1922 to October 1924 he ran eighteen times and nine races. He was a leading two-year-old in 1922 and in the following year he gained his most important success when he won the Epsom Derby. Later that season he gained international attention when he was sent to New York for an unsuccessful match race against the Kentucky Derby winner Zev.
