Ninian Sanderson (born 14th May, 1925 in Glasgow, Scotland, died 1st October, 1985) was a British racing driver.

After winning the 1956 Le Mans 24 Hours with the Ecurie Ecosse team, Sanderson was rewarded with an entry at the inaugural Formula One Scottish Grand Prix but failed to qualify.

A year later, Sanderson was brought back for the Irish and British races - the former of which he successfully qualified for before retiring.

Outside of motor racing, Sanderson was a keen yacht racer. Sanderson died in 1985 from cancer.
