La Prevoyante (1970–1974) was a Canadian-bred Thoroughbred race horse elected to the Racing Halls of Fame in the United States and Canada. A filly, she was bred and owned by Jean-Louis Lévesque. Her sire was Buckpasser, a son of Tom Fool.

Racing in the United States at age two, La Prevoyante went undefeated, winning all 12 starts en route to the 1972 Eclipse Award as Champion Juvenile Filly and the Sovereign Award Horse of the Year honors in Canada. As a 3-year-old, La Prevoyante did not achieve the same success. She lost for the first time in her initial start, finishing second in a six-furlong race at Gulfstream Park. She took another second in the 1973 Kentucky Oaks and was third in the Canadian Oaks.

Her French Canadian owner brought La Prevoyante to his hometown of Montreal where she won the Quebec Derby at Blue Bonnets Raceway. Although the betting favorite, on a muddy track she finished well back the 1973 Queen's Plate.

In 1974, she won three consecutive sprint races at the Saratoga Race Course. Following the December 28, 1974 Miss Florida Handicap, La Prevoyante collapsed in the unsaddling area. She got back on her feet and was able to walk to the stables but collapsed again and died of a ruptured lung.

La Prevoyante was inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame in 1976 and into the United States National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1995.
