Kris S. (foaled April 25, 1977 - May 7, 2002) was an American Thoroughbred race horse who is best known as a highly successful sire. He was a son of the 1972 Epsom Derby winner Roberto who was a sire of international influence descending from the Hail to Reason branch of the Nearco sire line. Kris S.'s dam was Sharp Queen, a daughter of two-time North American Champion Sire and seven-time Champion Broodmare Sire, Princequillo.

Kris S. was raced by Kris S. Robillard, whose father bought the horse for him and gave it his name. The colt won two races at age two but an injury limited his racing career to just five starts, notably winning the ungraded Bradbury Stakes at age three. In 1982 he was sent to stand at stud at Meadowbrook Farms in Florida where he remained until 1993 when he was moved to Prestonwood Farm (now Winstar Farm) in Versailles, Kentucky.

A highly successful stallion, Kris S. sired 63 stakes winners and had lifetime progeny earnings of over $50 million. Among the horses he sired were five Breeder's Cup winners of which three were voted an Eclipse Award:

* Prized (b. 1986) - won 1989 Breeders' Cup Turf, Molson Million
* Hollywood Wildcat (b. 1990) - won1993 Breeders' Cup Distaff, 1993 American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly
* Brocco (b. 1991) - won 1993 Breeders' Cup Juvenile and 1994 Santa Anita Derby
* Soaring Softly (b. 1995) won1999 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf, 1999 American Champion Female Turf Horse
* Action This Day (b.2001) - won 2003 Breeders' Cup Juvenile, American Champion Two-Year-Old Colt

Kris S. also sired two-time Japanese Horse of the Year, Symboli Kris S and the 2003 Epsom Derby winner, Kris Kin. In addition, he sired major stakes winners Rock Hard Ten, Kissin Kris, Machikane Allegro, Dr Fong, Kudos, You and I, Adonis, Class Kris, Evening Kris, Cheval Volant, Stocks Up, and Arch. Kris S. is also the damsire of War Chant, winner of the 2000 Breeders' Cup Mile, and Zenyatta, a filly who is undefeated in seven starts as at September 10, 2008.

Kris S. died in 2002 and was buried at WinStar Farm. His last crop of foals were born the following year.
