Ora Frederic Haibe (September 27, 1887 – December 10, 1970) was an American racing driver.{{Cite web|url=https://www.motorsport.com/indycar/photos/ora-haibe-8471091/8471091/|title=Ora Haibe at Indy 500 High-Res Professional Motorsports Photography|website=www.motorsport.com|language=en|access-date=2019-11-14}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.racing-reference.info/driver/Ora_Haibe|title=Driver Ora Haibe Career Statistics - Racing-Reference.info|website=www.racing-reference.info|access-date=2019-11-14}}

Haibe made his first Indianapolis 500 start in 1916, driving a car constructed by auto dealer and driver Swan Ostewig. Ostewig relieved Haibe mid-way through the race after Haibe complained about handling, and finished in 10th place.{{Cite web |title=Sven Fredriksen Ostewig |url=https://www.kvalevaag.se/?page_id=9294 |access-date=2024-01-03 |language=sv-SE}}
