Gentlemen (foaled 1992 in Argentina) is a Thoroughbred racehorse who was the Champion Three-Year-Old Colt in Argentina and who then raced successfully in the United States.

Brought to race in the United States in 1996, under California trainer Richard Mandella Gentlemen met with considerable success. Among his important victories. Gentlemen captured the 1996 Pimlico Special at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland and the 1997 Hollywood Gold Cup and Pacific Classic Stakes in California. He was also second to Wagon Limit in the 1998 Jockey Club Gold Cup but ahead of third place finisher, Skip Away.
