Heinz-Harald Frentzen ( German: [ˈhaɪnts ˈhaːʁalt ˈfʁɛntsn̩]; born 18 May 1967) is a German former racing driver who competed in Formula One from 1994 to 2003. Frentzen was runner-up in the Formula One World Drivers' Championship in 1997 with Williams, and won three Grands Prix across 10 seasons.

Born in Mönchengladbach, Frentzen began his racing career aged 12 in karting, winning several titles including the junior German Championship. He progressed to junior formulae in 1985, winning several races in Formula Ford before finishing runner-up in the 1989 German Formula Three Championship amidst a title battle with Karl Wendlinger and Michael Schumacher. After three seasons of racing in Japan, Frentzen signed with Sauber in 1994, making his Formula One debut at the Brazilian Grand Prix. He remained at Sauber—now under Red Bull sponsorship—the following season, achieving his maiden podium at the Italian Grand Prix.
