Artaius (26 February 1974 – 17 June 1998) was an American-bred, Irish-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a racing career which lasted from the autumn of 1976 until August 1977, he ran seven times and won three races. In 1977 he was one of the leading three-year-old colts in Europe, recording Group One successes in the Eclipse Stakes and Sussex Stakes. He was retired to stud at the end of the season and had limited success as a breeding stallion.
