The '''Moroccan Grand Prix''' was a [[Grand Prix motor racing]] event begun in 1925 in [[Casablanca]], [[Morocco]] with the official denomination of "Casablanca Grand Prix".

In 1930, the race was held at the new [[Anfa Racecourse]] (official denomination "Anfa Grand Prix"). It claimed the life of driver [[Bruno, Comte d'Harcourt|Count Bruno d'Harcourt]] during a practice run. All winners, in [[touring car]]s, were either [[France|French]] or [[Monaco|Monegasque]].

There was no race in 1933 nor between 1935 and 1953. When it returned in 1954, it was held on a circuit at the city of [[Agadir]] for [[sports car]]s, and French dominance was interrupted by an [[Italy|Italian]] driver, [[Giuseppe Farina]].

A new layout at [[Ain-Diab]] near Casablanca was made ready for the [[1957 Moroccan Grand Prix|1957]] [[Formula One]] race which, although not counting toward the World Championship, attracted a world-class field. 

The following year the race was officially sanctioned and was held on [[October 19]], [[1958]]. The race was marred by the death of [[Stuart Lewis-Evans]] (second in the 1957 race) who died in a [[London]] hospital of burn injuries six days after crashing heavily at the dusty circuit. His [[Vanwall]] engine seized (possibly because of dust) and sent him lurching into barriers at high speed, igniting his car in flames. This was the last Grand Prix organized in Morocco.
