Ridge Wood (1946–1956) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare best known for winning the classic St Leger Stakes in 1949. The colt was rejected by his prospective owner as a yearling and failed to win as a two-year-old in 1948. Even after winning five of his first six races as a three-year-old he was not regarded as a top-class performer even by his trainer who only ran him in the St Leger when a more fancied stable companion was injured.
