Jordan Grand Prix was a Formula One constructor that operated from the early 1990s to the mid 2000s.

The team was formed and headed by enigmatic Irish businessman Eddie Jordan and gained popularity for their alternative attitude to the sport.

After several years of debt, the team would be sold to the Midland Group in the mid 2000s.
