Faugh-a-Ballagh (foaled 1841 in Ireland) was a Thoroughbred race horse. A brother to Birdcatcher, Faugh-a-Ballagh was sold to E. J. Erwin in 1842. He ran once as a two-year-old at the Doncaster's Champagne Stakes, finishing third to The Cure and Sorella. He then began his three-year-old season as the first Irish-bred horse to win the St. Leger Stakes, then beat Corranna in a match race. He won the Grand Duke Michael Stakes, then the Cesarewitch, and came second to Evenus at the Cambridgeshire. As a four-year-old, he finished second to The Emperor in the Emperor of Russia's Plate.

In 1855, Faugh-a-Ballagh was imported to France. There he sired Fille de l'air, the English and French Oaks winner. He also sired the great stallion Leamington who sired the American racehorse and leading sire Longfellow as well as Iroquois, the first American bred to win the Epsom Derby.
