Hiraji (NZ), (1943−1970), was a New Zealand-bred Thoroughbred racehorse best known for winning the Melbourne Cup.

Hiraji was a grey gelding sired by Nizami (Fr) out of Duvach by Foxbridge (GB). He was bred in 1943 at Duvach Lodge, Matamata, New Zealand.[1]

Hiraji was owned by F. W. Hughes and trained by J.W. McCurley. In the 1947 Melbourne Cup he carried a weight of 7-11 (109 pounds and was ridden by Jack Purtell.[1] Starting at odds of 12/1 in a field of 30 runners he won the cup by half a length from Fresh Boy.[2]
