Blucher (foaled 1811, died 1841) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire named after the Prussian General Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, one of the most successful commanders of the Napoleonic Wars, but his name was invariably spelt without the umlaut. Blucher had little success as a sire but was an ancestor in the dam's line of the double classic winner Pretender (1866).
