Brawn GP was a British Formula One team that raced for a single season in 2009.

The team was formed when Honda opted to withdraw from the sport following the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, leaving the Brackley-based team at risk of not making the grid for 2009 - leaving several hundred jobs in the balance. The team was saved by a consortium led by Ross Brawn and as such were able to compete in 2009.

At the end of the 2009 season, Brawn GP was purchased by Mercedes-Benz and rebranded into Petronas Mercedes Team Europe.
