Toyota Gazoo Racing WRC is a World Rally Championship (WRC) team based in Finland that serves as Toyota's official factory team. It is operated by four time World Drivers' Champion Tommi Mäkinen and his team, Tommi Mäkinen Racing. The team made its début during the 2017 season, where it entered the Toyota Yaris WRC. The team is a separate entity to the Toyota Gazoo Racing team that competes in the World Endurance Championship.

Toyota's return to the World Rally Championship and the development of the Yaris WRC was originally overseen by Toyota Motorsport GmbH, the successor to Toyota Team Europe, the team that ran Toyota Celicas and the Toyota Corolla WRC in the 1980s and 1990s. With Toyota Motorsport GmbH also overseeing the development and operation of the Toyota TS050 Hybrid in the World Endurance Championship, Toyota elected to reassign the project to Tommi Mäkinen. Mäkinen shelved the Yaris WRC prototype developed by Toyota Motorsport GmbH and started anew.
