Terlingua (February 7, 1976 – April 29, 2008) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare bred in Kentucky by Tom Gentry. She was a chestnut filly from the second crop of Triple Crown winner Secretariat. Terlingua was out of a Crimson Satan mare, Crimson Saint, who was a graded stakes winner as well as a very successful broodmare. Besides Terlingua, Crimson Saint produced 1990 Ireland Champion 3yr-old and European Champion 3yr-old Miler Royal Academy and the grade one stakes winner (full brother) Pancho Villa along with four other winners, one of which was a minor stakes winner with another that was stakes placed.
Terlingua was a record-breaking stakes winner, and was also the dam of the two-time leading sire in North America, Storm Cat. Through him and Littleprincessemma, she was the great-great-grandam of 2015 U.S. Triple Crown winner American Pharoah. Terlingua was known as The Crown Princess.
