Prairie Bayou (1990-1993) was an American Thoroughbred Champion racehorse owned and bred by Loblolly Stable of Lake Hamilton, Arkansas.

Named for a bayou between Little Rock and Hot Springs in Arkansas, he was sired by Little Missouri and out of the mare, Whiffling. Owned by Loblolly Stable, after Prairie Bayou's success on the racetrack, Calumet Farm purchased Whiffling in foal to Danzig for $1,050,000 at the 1994 Keeneland November Sale.

Leading up to the 1993 Kentucky Derby, Prairie Bayou won four important stakes races for three-year-olds including the Grade I Blue Grass Stakes. Made the betting favorite for the Derby, as well as for all three of the Triple Crown races, Prairie Bayou was ridden by jockey Mike Smith. A come-from-behind horse, in the Derby he was caught far back in the large field for most of the race. In the final quarter, the colt had to move to the far outside in order to make a strong stretch run that earned him a second-place finish behind Sea Hero.

Prairie Bayou came back to win the Preakness Stakes, the second leg of the U.S. Triple Crown but then broke down in the Belmont Stakes and had to be euthanized. He is buried at Longfield Farm near Goshen, Kentucky.
