Velocipede (1825–1850) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a racing career which was restricted by injury he raced nine times in three years recording seven wins one second and one third place. Although he ran only in Yorkshire and Lancashire and was beaten into third place in his most important race the St Leger Stakes Velocipede was regarded by nineteenth century experts as one of the best British horses of the era. He later became a successful breeding stallion.
