Real Quiet (born March 7, 1995 at Little Hill Farm in Ocala, Florida) is an American Champion Thoroughbred racehorse. He was nicknamed "The Fish" by his trainer, due to his narrow frame.

He was bred by Eduardo Gaviria, a Colombian proprietor of two stud farms: one near Bogotá in Colombia and another in Ocala. Gaviria purchased Really Blue at the 1990 Keeneland November sale for $37,000, in foal to Spend A Buck. After a careful study of pedigrees, Gaviria decided to breed Really Blue with Quiet American. The result was Real Quiet. However, the colt's crooked knees prompted Gaviria to sell Real Quiet at a yearling auction to Michael E. Pegram for only $17,000.

Trained by Bob Baffert, racing as a two-year-old in 1997 Real Quiet started out slow, needing seven races before getting his first win. However, he improved considerably and won the Hollywood Futurity, an important Grade 1 stakes race.
