Baxter Price (born November 29, 1938) is an American racing driver from Monroe, North Carolina who competed in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series. He made 90 Winston Cup (now Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series) from 1973 to 1981, never recording a top ten.

Price ran nearly the full NASCAR Grand National East Series schedule in 1972, recording eleven top tens and finishing fourth in points. Coupled with a partial schedule in that series, Price ran his first Winston Cup race in 1983, and fell victim to an early crash at Richmond International Raceway. The ensuing pileup with Darrell Waltrip left Price with severe burns. He ran with limited success the next two years of his career, then hit double digits in the start category in 1976. Price attempted 26 of the 30 races in 1978, and finished 23rd in points even though he never hit the top ten. One race, he subbed for Dale Earnhardt. He found backing from Iron Peddlers in 1979 and continued to run races by the Eastern seaboard, near his hometown. Price scaled back his schedule in 1980, still with sponsors, but NASCAR had downsized its wheelbases, mandating new cars. The final year of his career was in 1981, failing to qualify for the Daytona 500, retiring with mechanical issues at Richmond and running the final race of his career for Jimmy Means and his Means Racing team, starting and parking at Texas World Speedway.
