Saritamer (1971 – after 1981) was a Kentucky-bred, Irish-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. As a two-year-old he was rated the third-best two-year-old in Ireland after winning the Anglesey Stakes and the Beresford Stakes. In the following year he became a specialised sprinter, excelling over six furlongs and winning the Greenlands Stakes, Cork and Orrery Stakes, July Cup and Diadem Stakes. He was named best sprinter of 1974 by Timeform. He later sired the middle-distance champion Time Charter, but was otherwise a complete failure at stud.

Saritamer was a "strong, compact" grey horse bred in Kentucky by Mrs Bruce M. Donaldson. He was one of the best horses sired by Dancer's Image who won the 1968 Kentucky Derby but was disqualified after traces of phenylbutazone were discovered in a post-race urinalysis. As a breeding stallion, he stood in Europe and Japan, siring several other good winners including the multiple Group One winner Lianga and the King's Stand Stakes winner Godswalk. Saritamer's dam Irish Chorus was a successful racehorse in Ireland, winning the Phoenix Stakes in 1962. As a descendant of the broodmare, Duke's Delight, Irish Chorus was related to several major winners including Noblesse, Pistol Packer, Rainbow Quest and Commander in Chief.
