Anthony Graham Whitehead (born 15 April 1922 in Harrogate, died 15 January 1981 in Lower Basildon) was a British racing driver. A competent sportscar driver who got his start thanks to his half-bother Peter. Developing his career very early, he competed in Formula 1 in 1951, at first with his own ERA, then with a new model sponsored by the Daily Express, often cited as the first example of sponsorsip in European motorsport. He retired from both races. He escaped serious injury when Peter was killed in an accident in the 1958 Tour de France automobile, and his career lasted until 1961.
