Rockingham Motor Speedway was a motorsport racing venue in Rockingham, Northamptonshire, England, United Kingdom, near the town of Corby. The venue currently sits unused due to private ownership by Constellation Automotive. It hosted professional and club races, as well as testing, track days, driver training, exhibitions and conferences. The speedway claimed to be Europe's fastest racing circuit, and was the first banked oval constructed in Britain since the closure of Brooklands in 1939.
The venue entered administration in 2017 and hosted its final motor race in November 2018. In 2021, the facility was purchased by Constellation Automotive for £80 million.
