Lance Macklin (2 September 1919, London – 29 August 2002) was a British racing driver from England. He was born in Kensington, London and died in Tenterden, Kent. He participated in 15 Formula One Grands Prix, debuting on May 18, 1952.

During his career, Macklin scored no championship points, principally due to his uncompetitive HWM cars. His best career result came when he won the non-Championship BRDC International Trophy, at Silverstone in 1952.

In the 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans he was caught up in the accident which killed Pierre Levegh and 80 spectators when he made a defensive move to avoid hitting Mike Hawthorn, and Levegh's car clipped his. Although Macklin's car crashed, he was uninjured. Following a later incident in the Tourist Trophy at Dundrod, in which Macklin crashed his Austin-Healey 100S avoiding an accident in which Jim Mayers and William T Smith were killed, Macklin retired from motor sport.
