Motorsport News is a British weekly newspaper offering news, reports and analysis of circuit racing, rallying and other forms of motor sport.

It was first published in 1955 as Motoring News, a monthly publication aimed at domestic car owners, but was bought in 1957 by Teesdale Publications and relauched as a weekly newspaper focused on motorsport, edited by Cyril Posthumus.[2][3][4][5]

In 1996 the title was acquired by Haymarket Publishing[6] who rebranded it as Motorsport News in 2000. In 2016 the publication was sold along with other titles in Haymarket's motoring portfolio to Miami-based Motorsport Network to form Autosport Media UK Ltd.[7]

Amongst the notable motorsport journalists to work for the publication are Alan Henry[8][9] and David Tremayne.[10]

The newspaper is published every Wednesday. Its offices are in Richmond in Middlesex, England.
