Rhoda B was an American Thoroughbred mare who was imported to England.

Rhoda B was a brown mare foaled in 1895. She was bred by J. B. and H. H. Stanhope of South Elkhorn, Kentucky. Rhoda B's sire was Hanover, a son of Hindoo. Her dam was Margerine by Algerine. Margerine's dam was the imported mare Sweet Songstress who was sired by Doncaster. Sweet Songstress' dam was Melodius by either Forester or Peppermint.

Rhoda B was bred in the United States but was exported to England prior to the implementation of the Jersey Act in 1913. She was a yearling when she was sent to England in 1896, and she was listed in the General Stud Book.

Rhoda B was the dam of Orby, who won the Epsom Derby. Orby was noted as a sprinting sire, and he got his speed from his dam. She was also the dam of Rhodora, who won the 1000 Guineas in 1908.
