Rockavon (foaled 1958) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire best known for winning the classic 2000 Guineas in 1961. After winning three races on minor tracks as a two-year-old and being well-beaten on his three-year-old debut Rockavon created a 66/1 upset when winning the 2000 Guineas becoming the first horse trained in Scotland to win a classic. He never won again and has been regarded as one of the least distinguished of classic winners.
