{{Short description|Horse of the gods in Norse mythology}}

In Norse mythology, Falhófnir (Old Norse: {{IPA|non|ˈfɑlˌhoːvnez̠|}}) is a horse listed in both Grímnismál and Gylfaginning among the steeds ridden by the gods each day when they go to make judgements at Yggdrasil. However, in both stanzas Falhófnir is not assigned to any specific deity.{{cite book|last1=Lindow|first1=John|title=Norse Mythology: A Guide to Gods, Heroes, Rituals, and Beliefs|url=https://archive.org/details/norsemythologygu00lind_201|url-access=limited|date=2002|publisher=Oxford University Press|location=New York|isbn=9780199839698|page=[https://archive.org/details/norsemythologygu00lind_201/page/n127 111]|chapter=Falhófnir (Pale-Hoofed)}}
