Twice Over (foaled 16 May 2005) is British Thoroughbred racehorse. He was a top-class middle-distance performer whose wins included the Eclipse Stakes, the International Stakes and two runnings of the Champion Stakes.

Twice Over is a bay horse bred by Juddmonte Farms, the breeding operation of his owner Prince Khalid Abdullah. Throughout his racing career he was trained at Newmarket by Henry Cecil.

Twice Over began his racing career in a maiden race over one mile at Newmarket Racecourse on 4 October. Starting at odds of 4/1 in a seventeen runner field, he took the lead approaching the final quarter mile and won by two lengths from Austintatious. On 3 November he started favourite for the Zetland Stakes over ten furlongs at the same course and won by one and a half lengths from Planetarium.

On 17 April 2008, Twice Over won the Group Three Craven Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse beating the future Breeders' Cup Classic champion Raven's Pass by a short head. He went on to finish third to Tartan Bearer in the Dante Stakes and third to Henrythenavigator in the St James's Palace Stakes before winning the Group Two Prix Eugène Adam at Maisons-Laffitte Racecourse on 27 July. He later ran poorly in the Prix Guillaume d'Ornano at Deauville Racecourse before ending his season by running second to New Approach in the Champion Stakes.
