Igor Omura Fraga (born 26 September 1998 in Kanazawa, Japan) is a Brazilian-Japanese sim racer and racing driver.

Best known as one of the fastest drivers in the world in Gran Turismo, a racing game from Polyphony Digital, Fraga began his professional career in Brazil before moving to South American Formula 4, finishing fifth overall with one race win in 2020. He combined this with a partial schedule in Japanese Formula 3 Championship in his native Japan. For the next season, Fraga made a huge leap, going back to Japan full-time and signing with Team Impul in Super Formula. After a hot start and three points finishes, Fraga's performance cooled somewhat for the rest of the season, and he finished 18th overall with 20 points in his debut Super Formula campaign. As well as this, Fraga officially became a part of the Nissan Driver Development Program when he signed with Impul.

Fraga left Impul after one season and moved to fellow Nissan-affiliated Kondo Racing for 2022, partnering New Zealand driver Nick Cassidy.
