O cavalo (Equus caballus) é um mamífero ungulato grande, uma das sete espécies modernas do gênero Equus. Ele teve durante muito tempo um papel importante no transporte; fosse cavalgando, ou puxando uma carruagem, uma carroça, uma diligência, um bonde, etc.; também como animal para a arar, etc. assim como comida. Até meados do século XX, exércitos usavam cavalos de forma intensa em guerras: soldados ainda chamam o grupo de máquinas que agora tomou o lugar dos cavalos no campo de batalha de unidades de "cavalaria", algumas vezes mantendo nomes tradicionais (Cavalo de Lord Strathcona, etc.)
