Patrón Highcroft Racing is an American auto racing team based out of Danbury, Connecticut and founded by driver Duncan Dayton in 1989. Initially founded for Dayton's involvement in historic motorsport, specifically the restoration and preparation of classic automobiles, the team was expanded for Dayton's entry into the USAC Formula Ford 2000 series in 1994. The team entered a partnership with Intersport Racing in 2003 and entered the American Le Mans Series (ALMS).

In 2006 Highcroft purchased an MG-Lola EX257 from Dyson Racing and started their own ALMS team. After a limited campaign, including a third place finish at the Petit Le Mans, the team was chosen by Honda Performance Development (HPD) to run one of three Acura ARX-01s for Acura's debut in the ALMS in 2007. In 2008, Highcroft earned title sponsorship from Patrón Tequila, and earned Acura's first overall race victory in the ALMS. Australian David Brabham and American Scott Sharp are the current drivers for Highcroft Racing, with occasional appearances by Swedish driver Stefan Johansson, who drove for the team full-time in 2007.
