Dark Horses is the tenth studio album by Australian musician, Jon English. The album was co-produced by English and former Sebastian Hardie band member, Mario Millo. It was released in Australia in May 1987, following a 4-year break where he returned to the theatre playing in Gilbert and Sullivan's comic opera The Pirates of Penzance, winning three consecutive 'Entertainer of the Year' Mo Awards between 1983 and 1985.

Jon English wrote on the album sleeve “Oh, by the way Dark Horses is a bastardised metaphor meaning loosely; Whatever is possible will be achieved by someone or something least expected. When it happens, however, no one will be surprised...”
