The Pónei da Terceira is a Portuguese breed of small horse native to the Atlantic island of Terceira, in the Azores archipelago. It was formally recognised as breed in 2014, after a period of research and recovery lasting some fifteen years.

It is one of four Portuguese breeds, the others being the Garrano, the Lusitano and the Sorraia.
