Maruzensky (Japanese: マルゼンスキー; May 19, 1974 – August 21, 1997) was an undefeated Japanese thoroughbred racehorse and sire.
His racing career was extremely successful, winning all of the races he entered, including the Asahi Hai Sansai Stakes which he had won with a massive gap, earning the nickname "Supercar" in the process. However, as horses brought over from abroad into Japan at the time were barred from entering any of the Triple Crown races, the horse was unable to enter the Japanese Classics.
As a stallion, he was also successful, producing Derby winner Sakura Chiyono O, as well as 3 other Grade I winners, among others.
