Buchephalus (Ancient Greek: Βουκεφάλας, from βούς bous, "ox" and κεφαλή kephalē, "head" meaning "ox-head") was a famed horse belonging to Alexander the Great. Bucephalus died shortly after the Battle of the Hydaspes in 326 BC, and is buried in Jalalpur Sharif outside of Jhelum, Pakistan.
In the 1988 movie The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (film), the Baron's white stallion is named Bucephalus, and on several occasions rescues the Baron from a pinch.
