Shank's mare (and numerous variants such as shanks mare, shanks's mare, shanks's nag, shanks-nag, shanks's pony) is an expression, primarily found in the United Kingdom, that refers to walking.[1]

Shank's mare may also refer to Tōkaidōchū Hizakurige, a Japanese comic picaresque novel (kokkeibon) by Jippensha Ikku, written in 12 parts between 1765 and 1831, known in translation as Shank's Mare.

An equivalent in Cantonese is Bus No. 11 (Script error: No such module "Lang".), referring to the shape of calves.
