The Pacific Grand Prix was a race on the Formula One calendar, held for it's entirety in Japan. It was first held in 1990 in order to give the newly constructed Autopolis circuit in Ōita Prefecture, Japan a Formula One event. The first running of the race was well received by fans internationally and domestic as it proved to be an economic and sporting success. However, the remote location of the venue and the poor access by road soon detracted from the event, and by late 1992 arrangements were being made to move the event to a new venue. The Okayama International Circuit (then known as the TI Circuit Aida) was selected as the replacement venue for the event with a contract to host the Pacific Grand Prix from 1994 onwards. Despite better access TI Circuit Aida was not well-received by fans, leading to the event organisers severing their contract with TI Circuit Aida for 1996. The event would be cancelled altogether after public interest in a second race in Japan dwindled.

Both Autopolis and Okayama International Circuit would go on to host the Japanese Grand Prix in the 2010s.

For the 2016 and 2017 seasons, the Pacific Grand Prix designation returned for a second Grand Prix in the United States held at the Sonoma Raceway in California.
