Liberty Island（Japanese: リバティアイランド; February 2, 2020 – April 27, 2025) was a Japanese thoroughbred racehorse.
Liberty Island became the Japanese Triple Tiara winner of 2023. Her name is derived from the island of the same name in New York Harbor, where the Statue of Liberty is installed (as her mother is named "Yankee Rose").
Her major victories include the 2022 Hanshin Juvenile Fillies, the 2023 Oka Sho, Yushun Himba, and Shuka Sho. She was awarded the JRA Award for Best Two-Year-Old Filly for 2022 and the JRA Award for Best Three-Year-Old Filly for 2023.
Liberty Island died on April 27, 2025, at the age of 5. She was euthanized after sustaining a life-threatening injury while racing in the Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Sha Tin Racecourse.
