Jorge Goeters (born June 26, 1970) is a Mexican racecar driver.

At the present time, Goeters competes full-time in the NASCAR Mexico Series in Mexico. In the past few years he also competed at the international level on a limited basis, running a handful of races in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series, NASCAR Busch Series, Champ Car World Series, A1 Grand Prix, and Rolex Sports Car Series. He is known for winning the pole position for the inaugural Busch Series race in Mexico City.

Goeters had an early start in motorsports, beginning in motocross at age 8. He won several championships in Mexico, as well as international events in this discipline, before making the move to auto racing in 1993.

In 1996, he won his first national championship, in the Prototypes category. The next year he won the Mexican Trans-Am series, and in 1998 he went to compete in the United States.

In 1998, he had a fairly successful debut season in the Indy Lights championship, in which he earned one Pole position, one track record, two top five, and two top ten finishes.

Back in his homeland, he won the Mexican Formula 2 Championship in 2001, and the MasterCard Truck Series Championship in 2002.

In 2004 he took part in the inaugural season of the Desafío Corona stock car series, and finished 4th in the championship.

2005 was a very eventful year for Goeters, as he won the championship in the Desafío Corona series, and made his NASCAR and Grand-Am debut, as well as his lone start in the Champ Car World Series.

Goeters won a very popular pole position in his NASCAR Busch Series debut at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City, driving the #66 Canel's/Scotiabank Ford Taurus for Brewco Motorsports. He led 24 laps, but later had to retire from the race with an engine failure. He ran two more Busch Series races in 2005, driving the #32 Chevy for Braun Racing, with a best result of 9th at Watkins Glen International.
