Storm Bird (1978-2004) was a Canadian-bred Thoroughbred racehorse in Ireland. He was a son of 1964 U.S. Champion 3-Yr-Old Colt Northern Dancer, "one of the most influential sires in Thoroughbred history." At age 2, he won all five starts and was voted Champion in England and Ireland. His owner sold a 75% interest in Storm Bird for $21 million and at age 3, raced only once, finishing unplaced.

Retired to stand at stud at Ashford Stud in Versailles, Kentucky, Storm Bird sired 63 stakes winners including 1990 Preakness Stakes winner Summer Squall and Storm Cat, the leading sire of Graded stakes race winners in North America in 2005 whose current stud fee is US$500,000 for a live foal, the highest in North America. As well, Storm Bird was the broodmare sire of winners of more than 100 stakes races including Kentucky Derby winner Thunder Gulch and the lightning fast gelding, Commentator.

Pensioned from stud duties in 1999, Storm Bird had to be euthanized on December 3, 2004 after a suffering with colic.
