Johannesburg (foaled on February 23 1999) is a Kentucky-bred United States and European Champion Thoroughbred racehorse. He was trained by Aidan O'Brien at Ballydoyle, and now stands at stud for the giant Irish breeder Coolmore Stud. During the Northern Hemisphere breeding season, he stands at Coolmore's American farm, Ashford Stud, near Versailles, Kentucky, and shuttles to Coolmore Australia near Jerry's Plains, New South Wales for the Southern Hemisphere breeding season.

Johannesburg was unbeaten as a 2-year-old, winning 7 races, 4 of them Group 1s, including the Phoenix Stakes, Prix Morny, Middle Park Stakes and Breeders' Cup Juvenile, with a devastating display in the latter. For his performance in the 2001 racing season he earned the Cartier Award for Two-Year-Old European Champion Colt.

He had 3 starts as a 3-year-old, none of which he was successful in, including an 8th place finish in the Kentucky Derby and 9th in the St. James's Palace Stakes.

Retired to stand at stud at Ashford Stud his first crop of 2-year-olds competed in 2006, with 3 of his 14 runners winning Graded stakes races, including the Group 2 winner Hamoody and Scat Daddy, winner of the 2007 Grade I Florida Derby.
