Ecurie Maghreb was a Formula One team that competed between 1955 and 1957. The team was formed with financial backing from the Moroccan government as part of its promotion of the Moroccan Grand Prix. The team was used as a means to promote Moroccan talent, and relied on customer Italian cars in the majority of its existence.

The team did not perform well, rarely qualifying for races due to the inexperience of its drivers. The team folded in 1958 when the Moroccan government withdrew all of its funding from the team. To this date it is the only Formula One team to have raced as a Moroccan outfit.
