Dunfermline (1974–1989) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. In a career which lasted from July 1976 until August 1978, she ran twelve times and won three races. In 1977, the year of her owner Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee, she won two of the five British Classic Races. Dunfermline won the Oaks against other fillies in June and, in September, added the St Leger, beating double Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Alleged – the only time Alleged was ever beaten. She raced without winning in 1978 before being retired to stud.
