Siyouni (foaled 14 February 2007) is a French Thoroughbred racehorse. In a career which ran from May 2009 to October 2010 he ran twelve times and won four races, including one at the highest Group One level. He showed promise as a two-year-old in 2009 when he won his first three starts including a Listed race at Maisons-Laffitte Racecourse over five furlongs, he was then beaten on both of his next two starts when raced in group company for the first time, before winning the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere on his final start of the year. In the following year he was beaten on his seasonal debut and never really found his winning form again, his best finish for 2011 was a second place run in the Prix Jean Prat.

Stud career
Siyouni was retired to the Aga Khan IV's Haras de Bonneval stud in France after his 2010 season, initially standing for a fee of €7,000. Over the past eight years Siyouni has established himself as one of the top sires in Europe. He has produced six Group One winners, four of which are multiple Group one winners and a further fifty-one stakes winners. His rise in success over recent years has saw his stud fee increase to €20,000 for 2015, €30,000 for 2016, €45,000 for 2017, €75,000 2018, €100,000 for 2019 then finally to €140,000 in 2021 and again the same for 2022.
