Noble Nashua (1978–1992) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse bred in Kentucky by Theiline Scheumann's Grousemont Farm. Impeccably bred, he was sired by U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee Nashua and out of the mare Noble Lady, a daughter of Vaguely Noble, winner of the 1968 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and the 1973 and 1974 Leading sire in Great Britain and Ireland as well as their Leading broodmare sire in 1982.

Noble Nashua was purchased for racing by the Flying Zee Stable of Carl Lizza, Jr. and Herbert Hochreiter and trained by Jose Martin. In 1981, he won five important stakes races including the Grade I Swaps Stakes at Hollywood Park Racetrack and the Marlboro Cup Handicap at Belmont Park. He also set a stakes and Belmont Park track record of 1:33 1/5 for one mile on dirt in winning the Jerome Handicap. His stakes record time still stands as at 2011. Further, Noble Nashua set a stakes record of 1:43 flat for a mile and a sixteenth on dirt in his Whirlaway Stakes victory at Aqueduct Racetrack, missing the track record by just one fifth of a second. His time stood for twenty-six years.

Noble Nashua was syndicated to a group of breeders for $11 million with Flying Zee Stable maintaining a significant interest.
