Robert Manzon (born 12 April 1917 in Marseille, died 19 January 2015 in Cassis) was a French racing driver who competed in Formula 1 from 1950 onwards. Spending his entire racing career driving for Gordini, at least in Formula One, he was one of the more successful drivers at the start of the championship, winning four championship Grands Prix and finishing in the championship's top ten five consecutive years, scoring four fastest laps and one single pole position. In later years, he was the last surviving points scorer from the championship's inaugural season. He died near his home town of Marseille in 2015 at the age of 97.
