Wendell William Eads (June 10, 1923 – June 5, 1997) was an AmericanThoroughbred horse racingjockey. In the early 1940s he was a contract jockey with the prestigiousCalumet Farm. Small, even by jockey standards, Eads weighed just 102 pounds and as a result could not control Calumet's extremely high strung but talented colt,Whirlaway. The problem cost Eads the chance to make history aboard Whirlaway who won the 1941United States Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing.

During his career, Wendell Eads won a number of important races including theBlue Grass Stakes and thePimlico Special. As well, he competed in two of theAmerican Classic Races. He was aboard Sun Again for a third-place finish in the 1942Preakness Stakes and rode Dove Pie to a seventh-place finish in the 1943Kentucky Derby

Following his retirement from racing, Wendell Eads made his home inOakland, Illinois where he was living at the time of his death in 1997.
