Shigeaki Hattori (服部 茂章, November 3, 1963), also called Shige Hattori, is a Japanese professional race car driver and team owner currently based in the United States. He competed in the CART and IndyCar Series, and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (now the Camping World Truck Series). He is not related to Naoki Hattori, whom he briefly raced against in CART.
He owns Hattori Racing Enterprises, which competes part-time in the ARCA Racing Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and Xfinity Series, and full-time in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East. The team has fielded cars for Johnny Sauter, Alex Bowman, David Garbo Jr., Lee Pulliam, Brett Moffitt, Sergio Pena, Ross Kenseth, and Ryan Truex.
Prior to moving to the United States, Hattori won the Formula Toyota championship in 1994.
Hattori moved to the United States in 1995, and began competing in the Indy Lights series in 1996 at the age of 32. After finishing 13th and 25th in points in his first two seasons, he scored his first career win in the series in 1996 at the season-opener at Homestead Miami Speedway. He would win two races that season and finish 14th in points.
