Henri Pescarolo was a Formula One driver from France. He participated in 59 grands prix, debuting on September 22, 1968. He achieved 1 podium, and scored a total of 12 championship points.

He later went on to start his own team which now competes in the Le Mans Endurance Series, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. His team, Pescarolo Sport, is notably sponsored by Sony's PlayStation 2 and by Gran Turismo 4. During the 5 years that Pescarolo has campaigned [French race car manufacturer] Courage C60 prototypes, so many modifications have been made to the model that Courage allowed the team to name the car after themselves, such was the differences between their model and the standard C60. In 2005, it was developed further still to meet the "hybrid" regulations, before the change to LMP1/2 format. It is unknown whether Pescarolo will use the newer Courage C65 in the future.

Pescarolo holds the record for Le Mans starts with 33 and has won the race on four occasions as a driver. However, he has yet to win the race as a team owner, coming very close in 2005 with the Pescarolo C60h.

Henri Pescarolo is also a keen helicopter pilot.
