Shareef Dancer (March 3, 1980 - May 6, 1999) was a bay Thoroughbred racehorse bred by Canadian E. P. Taylor at his Windfields Farm subsidiary in Chesapeake City, Maryland. Out of the mare Sweet Alliance, he was sired by Taylor's Northern Dancer, one of the most influential sires in Thoroughbred history.

Shareef Dancer was sold as a yearling at a Keeneland auction in Lexington, Kentucky for US$3.3 million to Ashton Upthorpe Stud owned by Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum of the United Arab Emirates. The colt was brought to race from a base in Newmarket, England and in 1983 the three-year-old won the Irish Derby Stakes and the King Edward VII Stakes. Sold for breeding purposes to a syndicate for a world record price of US$40 million, he was reasonably successful as a sire and was the damsire of 2000 World Champion, Dubai Millennium.
