Gallop Racer (ギャロップレーサー, Gyaroppu Rēsā) is a series of horse racing video games, created by Tecmo.

Most games in the series involve management of horses, with the exception of Gallop Racer 2004, which focuses more on the jockeying riders.

Race course lengths range from 5 furlongs (5/8 mile) to 20 furlongs (2.5 miles) and are designed to closely resemble real-life courses in distance and shape in spite of an inability to secure licensing rights to use their official names.

When most of that game's subsequent sequels were localized for North America, they would be numerated on the basis of their year of release there in a convention not dissimilar to annually released sports games in various EA Sports franchises and later titles in Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer series.

Only the sixth and seventh installments of the series would be localized for a European release, with the former being endorsed by the British Isles' attheraces horse racing sports network.
