The '''Circuito Lasarte''' was an {{cvt|17.749|km|mi|abbr=on}} [[Grand Prix motor racing]] road course at [[Lasarte-Oria]], [[Gipuzkoa]], [[Spain]] in the [[Basque Country (autonomous community)|Basque Country]] near the city of [[San Sebastián]] on the [[Bay of Biscay]]. The [[counterclockwise]] layout was used between 1923 and 1935 but racing ended with the eruption of the [[Spanish Civil War]] in 1936 and after the war auto racing resumed at new tracks near [[Barcelona]].

The Circuito Lasarte played host to the [[San Sebastian Grand Prix]], [[Spanish Grand Prix]] and the 1926 [[European Grand Prix]]. No longer operational for auto racing, in 1965 the layout was used for the [[World Cycling Championship]].
