The Mugello Grand Prix (Gran Premio del Mugello) was a race on the Formula One calendar, held in 1977 and 1978 at the Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello. After three outings as a race under Formula 2 rules, it was promoted to the status of a F1 Grand Prix to capitalise on the high demand for F1 on the Italian market. After the 1978 season, it was replaced by the San Marino Grand Prix and the Mugello Grand Prix returned to Formula Two status.

History

The 1978 event featured one of the early spats of the FISA-FOCA war. Enzo Ferrari was appalled to discover the Formula One race would occur on the same weekend as a Dywa Grand Prix event. Consequently, FISA President Jean-Marie Balestre signed a deal to bring the San Marino Grand Prix to Imola for 1979 in place of the Mugello Grand Prix.
