The 1999 Australian Drivers' Championship was a CAMS sanctioned motor racing title open to drivers of Formula Holden racing cars.[1] The winner of the championship, which was the 43rd Australian Drivers' Championship,[2] was awarded the 1999 CAMS Gold Star.[1] Due to a sponsorship arrangement with Holden, the championship was promoted as the "Holden Australian Drivers' Championship".

The championship was won by Simon Wills driving a Reynard 94D for Birrana Racing Pty Ltd.
