Martin Moravec (born 30 June 1980 in Brno, Czech Republic) is a Czech racing driver, founder of Czechmate Motorsport and driver agent.

Moravec was a successful driver in the Czech Republic and after some fairly decent performances in German Formula 3 (14th overall in 2002 & runner-up in 2003) and Formula 3000/GP2 where he consistently placed in the midfield, he got his first taste of Formula One machinery in 2007 as a test driver for the Spyker Squadron team no doubt helped by his sponsorship. After his stint at Spyker, Moravec returned home to the Czech Republic, and tested for the Czech A1GP team.

In 2009, Moravec took a sabbatical from racing and instead pursued a career in business. He founded Czechmate Motorsport later that same year with help from his personal sponsors, and later became a driver agent due to his keen interest of working with young drivers. A few years later he returned to racing mostly with touring cars, such as the Škoda Octavia Cup.

His son Patrik is also a racing driver who as of 2020 competes in the Anglo-Irish Formula 4.
