The Swiss Grand Prix was a race on the Formula One calendar, held from 1950 at the Circuit Bremgarten in the Swiss canton of Aargau.

A lack of safety precautions at Circuit Bremgarten lead to the race being dropped from the calendar in 1955. After the 1955 Le Mans disaster, motorsport was banned in Switzerland, making the 1954 edition the last Grand Prix held on Swiss soil. The Swiss Grand Prix would be revived for the 1978 season, except it would be held at the Dijon-Prenois circuit in France as the Swiss ban still stood. The race returned to Dijon in 1981 and 1983, but the latter race was marred by two serious incidents, which caused the FIA to stop hosting Formula One races at that venue. In 2016, the Swiss ban on motorsport events was lifted for EV, resulting in a return of the Swiss Grand Prix to the Formula One calendar in 2026 at a new temporary circuit in Bern.
