Roberto Lippi (17 October 1926 – 31 October 2011) was a racing driver from Italy. He was the inaugural champion of the Campionato Italiano for Formula Junior cars in 1958, and participated in three Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, all at Monza in a privateer De Tomaso, from 1961 to 1963. He qualified only for the first of these, and scored no championship points.

Lippi had a best non-championship finish of fourth, achieved at the 1963 Rome Grand Prix. Lippi also competed in multiple editions of the Mille Miglia in the 1950s, as well as the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1957.

From 1964 to 1972, Lippi was chief test driver for the Scuderia Ferrari. He later worked as a racing instructor, primarily at his home track of Vallelunga, before retiring in 1998. He died on 31 October 2011 at age 85, after a long illness.
