Ervedya (foaled 13 April 2012) is a French Thoroughbred racehorse best known for her performances over 1600 metres (one mile). She showed top-class form as a juvenile in 2014 when she won her first three races including the Prix de Cabourg before finishing third in the Prix Morny and second in the Prix Marcel Boussac. In the following year she won the Prix Imprudence and then recorded Group One wins in the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and the Coronation Stakes. Later that season she added another major victory when she took the Prix du Moulin. In 2016 she failed to win but ran prominently in several major races.

Ervedya is a bay mare with small white star bred in France by her owner Aga Khan IV. She was trained throughout her racing career by Jean-Claude Rouget and ridden in most of her races by Christophe Soumillon.

She was from the first crop of foals sired by the Aga Khan's stallion Siyouni whose biggest win came in the 2009 running of the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere. His other offspring have included Siyoushake (Prix Perth), Spectre (Prix Imprudence), Volta (Prix de Sandringham), Bourree (Prix de Psyche), Finsbury Square (Prix de Meautry) and Trixia (Prix des Reservoirs). Ervedya's dam Elva, showed good racing ability, winning two minor races and finishing second in the Prix Vanteaux. She was a female-line descendant of the French mare Sanaa (foaled 1931) who was the ancestor of several other major winners including Esmeralda (Prix Morny), Coronation, Danedream, Gentoo (Prix Royal-Oak and Falco (Poule d'Essai des Poulains).
