Oscar Schindler (4 February 1992 – 13 February 2007) was an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse and stallion best known for being the second horse to win two runnings of the Irish St. Leger. In a racing career which lasted from October 1994 until November 1997 he competed in five different countries and won five of his twenty starts.
After winning his only race as a two-year-old in 1994, he failed to win in the following year but ran prominently in several major races. He reached his peak as a four-year-old in 1996, winning the Ormonde Stakes, Hardwicke Stakes and Irish St. Leger as well a finishing third in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. In the following year he won a second Irish St. Leger and finished fourth in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. He remained in training as a six-year-old but had injury problems and was retired from racing.
Oscar Schindler was not a successful breeding stallion but he did sire some winners under National Hunt rules.
