Donald Beauman (26 July 1928 in Farnborough, Hampshire – 9 July 1955 in Rathnew, Ireland) was a British Formula One driver who took part in one World Championship Grand Prix.

Beauman ran a Cooper 500 for two years in Formula 3 before switching to sports car racing, and took on Formula One in 1954 with a Connaught A-Type, sponsored by wealthy privateer Sir Jeremy Boles. He finished eleventh in the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. He achieved some success in Formula 2, with several third and fourth place finishes and a second place in the Madgwick Cup at Goodwood. In 1955, the weekend before the British Grand Prix, he was killed when he crashed during the Leinster Trophy race.
