Biwa Hayahide (Japanese: ビワハヤヒデ; 10 March 1990 – 21 July 2020) was a Japanese thoroughbred racehorse. Biwa Hayahide was highly successful, winning 10 of his 16 races, including Grade I victories in the Kikuka-shō, spring Tenno Sho, and Takarazuka Kinen. Biwa Hayahide was part of the "BNW" trio together with Narita Taishin and Winning Ticket who were rivals during the 1993 Japanese Triple Crown. He was voted Japanese Horse of the Year in 1993, as well as being named Best Three-Year-Old Colt the same year and Best Older Male Horse in 1994. His streak of finishing in the top two in his first 15 races is the second-longest in the history of Japanese thoroughbred racing, just behind Shinzan.

Biwa Hayahide was the half-brother of Narita Brian.
