The Horse with My Name is the fifth novel of the Dan Starkey series by Northern Irish author, Colin Bateman, released on 5 August 2002 through Headline Publishing Group.

His estranged wife Patricia, after cancelling their counselling sessions with Relate, has entered into another relationship with someone called Clive and is currently living with him in the family home.

Starkey receives a request from Mark Corkery, known as "The Horse Whisperer", to investigate racing entrepreneur Geordie McClean who is apparently not quite as clean as his name would suggest.

Ferdia Mac Anna, writing for the Irish Independent, stated that she found the feel of the novel to be "weirdly familiar but oddly cosy" where "everyone is on the make in one way or another and the heroes are either losers or drunks or both", calling Starkey's journey a "roller-coaster ride".

She does note that "on occasion, the witty one-liners and outrageous scenarios grow a tad obvious", however also states that "I would rather read Bateman than many critically-acclaimed works of serious literature".
