Green Forest (18 February 1979 2000) was an American-bred, French-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. The best colt of his generation in France at two and three years of age, and the best miler in Europe in 1982, he won five of his ten races in a track career which lasted from May 1981 until September 1982. In 1981, he won four races, including the Prix Morny, Prix de la Salamandre and Grand Critérium. In the following year, he ran poorly in the early part of the season but then produced his best performance to defeat a strong field in the Prix du Moulin. He was retired to stud at the end of 1982 and had moderate success as a sire of winners.
