McLaren Racing Limited (/məˈklærən/ mə-KLARR-ən), currently competing in Formula One as McLaren Mastercard F1 Team, is a British motor racing team based at the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, Surrey, England. The team is a subsidiary of the McLaren Group, which owns a majority of the team.

McLaren is best known as a Formula One chassis constructor, the second-oldest active team and the second-most successful Formula One team after Ferrari, having won 203 races, 13 Drivers' Championships, and 10 Constructors' Championships. McLaren is one of only three constructors, and the only team, to complete the Triple Crown of Motorsport (wins at the Indianapolis 500, 24 Hours of Le Mans, and Monaco Grand Prix). The 2026 Chinese Grand Prix marked McLaren's 1000th Grand Prix entry, making them the second constructor after Ferrari to reach this milestone. The team currently uses Mercedes power; its partnership with Honda from 1988 to 1991 marked a period of consistent success for the team, most notably in 1988.
