Many people, including drivers, crew members, officials and spectators, have been killed in crashes related to the sport of auto racing, in races, in qualifying, in practice or in private testing sessions. Deaths among racers and spectators were numerous in the early years of racing, but advances in safety technology, and specifications designed by sanctioning bodies to limit speeds, have reduced the rate of fatal accidents.[2] Major accidents have often spurred increased safety measures and rules changes.[3][4] Widely considered to be the worst accident[5] is the 1955 Le Mans disaster at 24 Hours of Le Mans that killed driver Pierre Levegh and over 80 spectators, with more than 100 being injured in total.

This is a list alphabetically sorted, and structured after the kind of competition, of the more notable driver deaths, excluding those of motorcycle riders. In addition, several racing drivers have been killed in public road crashes; see List of people who died in road accidents.
