Nellie Flag (1932–1953) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who was retrospectively named the American Champion Two-Year-Old Filly of 1934.[1] She was the first horse bred by Warren Wright's Calumet Farm to win a stakes race.[2]

She produced ten foals of which nine raced.[6] Among her best were:
