Arcangues (foaled March 12, 1988) is a Thoroughbred racehorse from France. Sired by owner Daniel Wildenstein's 1984 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Sagace, he was given the name of the village of Arcangues in the Pyrenees Atlantiques departement in the Aquitaine region.

Arcangues had raced only on grass in Europe prior to being sent to California to compete on the dirt track at Santa Anita Park in the 1993 Breeders' Cup Classic. Bettors sent the horse off at odds of 133-1 in the richest of the Breeders' Cup races. Under last-minute jockey Jerry Bailey, the horse caught Bertrando in the homestretch to score the biggest upset in Breeders' Cup history. His $269.20 payoff for a $2 wager remains a Breeders' Cup record.

After his win, Arcangues remained in the United States and raced during the 1994 season after which he was retired and sent to Japan to stand at stud.
