Todd Kelly (born 9 October 1979) is an Australian professional racing driver currently competing in the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship, driving the No. 7 Nissan Altima for Nissan Motorsport. He is the older brother of fellow V8 Supercar driver and former Bathurst 1000 winner, Rick Kelly. He drove for the Holden Racing Team from 2003 until 2007, and Jack Daniel's Racing in 2008. Since 2009, he has been with his family team Kelly Racing (now known as Nissan Motorsport Australia). He is the youngest driver to have reached 100 starts in the series.

Season 2001 was Kelly's first full-time V8 drive in V8 Supercars (although he had previously raced in the category in 99' and 00'), he drove for the K-Mart Racing Team alongside Greg Murphy. He and Greg finished 3rd at Bathurst. Being his first full drive, he finished the year well in 6th and broke through for his first round victory in the last round of the season at Sandown Raceway. Season 2002 saw him take four second places, and fifth in the championship.

After two successful years with K-Mart Racing Team the departure of Jason Bright left a vacancy at the Holden Racing Team in 2003. Kelly and new team mate Mark Skaife won the Sandown 500 win. Kelly finished ninth in the championship, behind his brother Rick in eighth. Kelly was part of the two-car Holden Monaro assault by Garry Rogers Motorsport on the 2003 Bathurst 24 Hour race. With co-drivers Jason Bright, Greg Murphy and Peter Brock, Kelly won the race with Murphy crossing the line only 0.3505 seconds ahead of the teams lead car (and the 2002 race winner) driven by Garth Tander and co-driven by Steven Richards, Cameron McConville and Nathan Pretty.
