The Grand Prix de la Marne was a Grand Prix motor racing event staged at a racecourse near the city of Reims in the Marne département of north-east France. First held in 1925,. it proved to be one of the fastest road circuits in all of Europe.

After the end of World War II, the French Grand Prix returned to the Reims track for the 1950 and 1951 seasons.
