The Mediterranean Grand Prix was a non-Championship motor race, held at the Autodromo di Pergusa, in Sicily, Italy. The first event, run to Formula One rules, took place in 1962. The last Formula One event took place in 1965 before the race switched to Formula Two rules. In 1985, Formula Two was replaced by Formula 3000 and the Mediterranean Grand Prix remained on the calendar.
The event was scheduled to return in 2020 as part of the Euroformula Open Championship, but was cancelled due to the global coronavirus pandemic.{{cite news |last1=Wood |first1=Elliot |title=Mediterranean Grand Prix revived by Euroformula Open for 2020 |url=http://www.formulascout.com/mediterranean-grand-prix-revived-by-euroformula-open-for-2020/55379 |accessdate=11 October 2019 |work=formulascout.com |publisher=Formula Scout |date=11 October 2019}}
