Tudor Minstrel (1944-1971) was a British-bred Champion Thoroughbred racehorse. He was sired by Owen Tudor, the 1941 Epsom Derby winner.

Ridden by Gordon Richards, in 1947 Tudor Minstrel won the 1 mile long 2,000 Guineas by 8 lengths, the largest winning margin in the race since 1900. A heavy favorite going into the 1½ mile Epsom Derby, the distance was too much and he finished a tired fourth. Back racing at a distance of 1 mile in the St. James's Palace Stakes, Tudor Ministrel easily won.

Retired for breeding purposes, Tudor Minstrel was successful at stud, siring numerous winners including the 1959 Kentucky Derby winner Tomy Lee.
