This is a list of currently active horse racing venues, both Thoroughbred racing and harness racing, sorted by country. In most English-speaking countries they are called "racecourses". The United States and some parts of Canada use the term "racetracks" and some parts of Canada also use "raceway". In many non-English speaking countries a term cognate with hippodrome (e.g., Estonian: hipodroom, German: Hippodrom, Italian: ippodromo, etc.).

There are over 360 registered racecourses in Australia where Thoroughbred racing takes place during about 3,050 race meetings. There are also a number of separate harness racing tracks.
