Swayzee (foaled 23 September 2017) is an Australian Standardbred racehorse, notable for winning the:
- 2023 and 2024 New Zealand Trotting Cup
- 2023 Blacks A Fake Queensland Championship
- 2024 Victoria Cup

Swayzee was bred by Paul Kahlefeldt at Redbank Lodge Standardbreds in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales. Initially trained by Tim Butt for limited success, he moved to the stable of Jason Grimson at Menangle, Sydney, New South Wales in 2023.[1] He is owned by Boots Properties Racing Pty Ltd,[2] L F Drake, N H Jackson and Jason Grimson.
He is a half brother to another champion standardbred racehorse Leap To Fame. They were sired by different USA stallions: Leap To Fame by Bettor's Delight, but both were out of the dam Lettucereason (Art Major, USA). Leap To Fame was also bred by Redbank Lodge Standardbreds. Lettucereason, who won 17 races, is a sister to the 2013 Victoria Cup winner For A Reason[3][4]
