Oisin Murphy (born 6 September 1995) is an Irish jockey based in the United Kingdom who competes in flat racing.

Having sat on a racehorse for the first time at the age of fourteen, Murphy abandoned his earlier ambition to be a show-jumper and embarked on the pony-racing circuit.

A second Group 2 came in the German 2,000 Guineas on Karpino in May 2015, followed by his biggest prize up until that point - the Ebor Handicap on Litigant in August.

[6] In 2017 Benbatl, trained by Saeed bin Suroor, provided Murphy with his first Royal Ascot victory when he won the Group 3 Hampton Court Stakes.

[6] There were four more Group 1 wins for Murphy in 2019, including aboard Japanese mare Deirdre in the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood and an international success on Suave Richard in the Japan Cup.

On 3 October 2021 he gained another Group 1 victory when he won the Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp on Zellie, trained by André Fabre, a few days after a parade ring incident at Salisbury had left him needing stitches in his lip when he was thrown by an unraced two-year-old.

[12] On 16 December 2021 it emerged that Murphy was facing disciplinary charges brought by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) for a breach of COVID-19 travel protocols in 2020 and two failed breath tests in 2021.

Other big-race victories in 2023 included the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot on Shaquille and the Belmont Oaks on Aspen Grove.

In September he travelled to Canada to take the Grade 1 Summer Stakes aboard New Century for Andrew Balding and Qatar Racing.

[6] He reclaimed the Champion Jockey title in October for a fourth time, secured by 163 winners (53 ahead of Rossa Ryan) at a 22% strike rate.

[16] In the run-up to collecting his trophy, Murphy told BBC Sport that twice-weekly counselling had been a great help to him: "When things have got stressful this year, like a few days of not winning races, I've been able to use that time away from the saddle as perspective to realise that I'm very lucky that I'm healthy and back riding at a high level.
