Johren (1915–1932) was a Thoroughbred racehorse who competed in the United States. His most important win came in the 1918 Belmont Stakes.
Johren was a "massive"[1] bay horse owned and bred by Harry Payne Whitney. He was sired by Spearmint, the 1906 Grand Prix de Paris winner and a son of Australian Racing Hall of Fame and New Zealand Racing Hall of Fame inaugural inductee Carbine. As well as being the sire of the Belmont Stakes-winning filly Tanya, Johren's damsire Meddler was the damsire of U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee Grey Lag.
Harry Whitney had racing operations at Newmarket in England and in his native United States. He brought Johren as a yearling to his Brookdale Farm in Lincroft, New Jersey, where his race training was overseen by head trainer James G. Rowe Sr.
