Kyprios (foaled 18 May 2018) is a retired Irish Thoroughbred racehorse. He was lightly raced in his early career, winning one race from two starts in each of his first two seasons. As a four-year-old in 2022 he emerged as a top-class stayer, winning the Vintage Crop Stakes and Saval Beg Stakes in Ireland before taking the Ascot Gold Cup, Goodwood Cup, Irish St. Leger and Prix du Cadran. He missed most of the 2023 season due to injury but won all his seven starts in 2024, including the Ascot Gold Cup, Goodwood Cup, Irish St. Leger and Prix du Cadran. After winning his two starts in April and May 2025, he was retired due to a recurrence of his old injury. He had won 17 of his 20 starts, including eight Group 1 races. He was ridden in all but two of his races by Ryan Moore. In 2022 and 2024 he was crowned European top stayer of the year at the Cartier Racing Awards.
