The Enbarr (Énbarr) or Aonbharr of Manannán () is a horse in the Irish Mythological Cycle which could traverse both land and sea, swifter than wind-speed.
The horse was the property of the sea-god Manannan mac Lir, but provided to Lugh Lamh-fada () to use at his disposal. In the story Oidheadh Chloinne Tuireann ("The Fate of the Children of Tuireann"), Lugh refused to lend it to the sons of Tuireann, but was then forced to lend the self-navigating boat Sguaba Tuinne (Wave-sweeper) instead.
