Spinning World (born 1993 in Kentucky) is a French Thoroughbred racehorse who was one of the top European milers during the 1990s.

After winning the 1996 Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh and the Prix Jacques Le Marois at Deauville Racecourse, in the Breeders' Cup Mile at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Spinning World finished second to Da Hoss. Following more Group One wins in 1997 in France, Spinning World returned for the Breeders' Cup Mile at Hollywood Park Racetrack which he won while equaling the track record.

Spinning World was retired to stud duty after the 1997 racing season. He stood at Coolmore Stud in Ireland and has been shuttled to Ashford Stud in Kentucky and to Coolmore operations in New Zealand and Australia. Among his offspring is Spinning Queen (b. 2003), the 2006 winner of the Group One Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse. In November 2006, Spinning Queen became the most expensive filly, and second most expensive horse, ever sold at public auction in Europe going for a price of three million guineas.
