The Nîmes Grand Prix (French: Grand Prix automobile de Nîmes) was a Grand Prix motor race that was held in the french town of Nîmes organised in 1932, 1933 and 1947.

The 1932 and 1933 editions of the race were organised by the Automobile Club du Gard and were part of a number of grand prix races held in cities in the 1930s, inspired by the success of the Monaco Grand Prix. The race was run along on the Jean Jaurès circuit, a 2.617 km (1.626 mile) circuit which consisted of two long straights broken two fast hairpins at either end of the avenue.

The 1947 edition of the race was run at the Nîmes-Courbessac aerodrome circuit in front of more than 50000 spectators, a Sports car was also held in 1954.
