Harry Tincknell (born 29 October 1991 in Exeter, Devon) is a British racing driver who switched from a successful single-seater career to sportscars in 2014. Having won the LM P2 class on his Le Mans 24 Hour race début in 2014, in 2015 he was announced as an official “factory” Nissan NISMO LM P1 FIA World Endurance Championship race and development driver. He contested the Le Mans 24 Hours in June 2015, and set fastest time for the Nissan GT-R LM Nismo both in qualifying and during the race. In March 2016, Tincknell was confirmed as a factory driver for Ford Racing with Ford Chip Ganassi Racing UK in the FIA WEC and also for the Le Mans 24 Hours. He will also compete in the European Le Mans Series with G-Drive Racing in a Gibson-Nissan chassis (formerly designated Zytek Z11SN).

Tincknell made his karting début in 2001, finishing in the top five of both the Dunkeswell Club Championship and the South West British Championship series. After competing in Cadets in 2002, Tincknell moved up to TKM karts in 2003, winning the Winter Series at the Shenington kart circuit in Oxfordshire. He continued at that level in 2004, winning a round at Larkhall and finished in 27th place in the championship for Connaught Racing. Tincknell moved into the ICA Junior Belgian Championship in 2005, and finished in fifth position in the championship, 65 points behind champion Laurens Vanthoor.

Tincknell stayed at ICA Junior level for the 2006 season, competing in the WSK International Series. He finished fourteenth in the championship, despite earning a third-place finish at La Conca, Italy. Tincknell frequented in various series in 2007, competing in no less than eight different championships or trophy races during the season. His best result was fourth in the South Garda Winter Cup, finishing behind Yannick de Brabander, António Félix da Costa and Robin Frijns. 2008 was Tincknell's final season in karting, and he finished as runner-up in the Euro Rotax Max Challenge.
