Lucien Bianchi (born Luciano Bianchi on November 10 1934 in Milan, Italy; died March 30 1969 at Le Mans, France) was a Belgian Formula One driver who raced for the Cooper, ENB, UDT Laystall and Scuderia Centro Sud teams.

The Italian-born Bianchi moved to Belgium when he was still a child, with his father who was a race mechanic. His first race event was at the Alpine Rally in 1951. He won the 1957, 1958 and 1959 Tour de France as well as the Paris 1000 sports car race in the latter two years. He entered Formula 1 in 1959, although only with sporadic appearances at first. He drove various cars under the banner of the ENB team, including a Cooper T51, a Lotus 18 and an Emeryson. After a couple of races for the UDT Laystall team in 1961, driving another Lotus, he returned to ENB for whom he drove their ENB-Maserati. He finally secured a more regular drive in Formula 1 in 1968, with the Cooper-BRM team, although success was elusive despite a bright start.

Bianchi also raced touring cars, sports cars and rally cars, being successful in all disciplines; his biggest victories coming in the 1968 Le Mans 24 Hours, behind the wheel of a Ford GT40 with Pedro Rodriguez and at Sebring in 1962 with Jo Bonnier. He was also leading the London-Sydney marathon when his Citroën collided with a non-competing car. but early 1969 he was killed when his Alfa Romeo T33 spun into a telegraph pole during Le Mans testing.
