Bill Vukovich (born 13 December 1918 in Fresno, CA, died 30 May 1955), was an American racing driver, of Russian descent, who won the Indianapolis 500 in 1953 and 1954 and was killed in a crash while leading the 1955 event.

As the Indianapolis 500 counted as a round of the Formula One World championship from 1950 to 1960, his career is credited with participation in 5 grands prix, with 2 wins, 19 championship points and 1 pole position scored. However, it should be noted that Indianapolis' inclusion in the championship was largely symbolic and the Indy drivers rarely entered any other Formula One races. Because of this Indy winners are often not listed in totals of Grand Prix winners and especially in statistics tables. As an example, Vukovich has an F1 winning percentage of 40%, which puts him just behind the 5-time champion Juan Manuel Fangio (47%).
