Bering (20 March 1983 – 16 December 2011) was a British-bred, French-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. He won five of his seven starts, including the Prix du Jockey Club in 1986. On his final start he finished second to Dancing Brave in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. He was bred and owned by Alec Head, and trained by his daughter Criquette Head. After retiring from racing Bering had some success as a stallion, with his progeny including 2000 Guineas Stakes winner Pennekamp and Poule d'Essai des Poulains winner American Post.
