Nearco (brown horse, bred 1935) was an Italian thoroughbred race horse by Pharos out of Nogara; he was bred by Federico Tesio, who also bred Ribot. He retired undefeated after fourteen races and was sold to the British bookmaker Martin Benson for 60,000 Pounds. Nearco was sent to the Beech House stud farm in England where he became an outstandingly prepotent sire, eclipsed only by his grandson Northern Dancer. Also among his descendants are Ballymoss, Never Say Die, Nasrullah, Nijinsky II, Royal Palace, and Sir Ivor.

Nearco died at Beech House stud farm on June 27th, 1957.
