Conrad Homfeld is an American show jumping rider, born on 25 December 1951 in Pinehurst, North Carolina. He qualified for the United States team for the 1980 Moscow Olympics but did not compete because of the American boycott, and he was one of 461 athletes who received a Congressional Gold Medal instead. At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics he won team gold with the horse Abdullah and individual silver in jumping. He won the World Cup final in 1980 and 1985, the first rider from any country to take that title twice, and at the 1986 World Championships he again won individual silver and team gold. He later became a course designer and was named a USEF Course Designer of the Year.
