Saratoga Dew (foaled 1989 in New York) is an American Thoroughbred Champion racehorse. Bred by Penny Chenery , owner of Secretariat, and raced by Charles F. Engel, in 1992 Saratoga Dew became the first New York-bred horse to win an Eclipse Award.

Trained by Gary Sciacca and ridden by Herb McCauley in her major races, en route to earning 1992 American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly honors, Saratoga Dew won eight times. In top level races she was second by a nose in the Alabama Stakes then scored wins in the Grade 1 Gazelle Handicap and Beldame Stakes and the Grade 2 Comely Stakes. Sent off as the parimutuel betting favorite in the 1992 Breeders' Cup Distaff at Florida's Gulfstream Park, Saratoga Dew had the lead by the half-mile mark but faded badly to finish twelfth in a fourteen-horse field.

Retired to broodmare duty, in 1996 Saratoga Dew was sent to stand at Shinkoh Farm in Japan.
