Henrique Chaves (born 21 March 1997) is a professional racing driver from Portugal.

Karting

Originating from Torres Vedras, Chaves embarked on his karting journey in 2006, claiming victories in both the Portuguese Championship and Portuguese Cup within the Cadets category. His karting career spanned until 2015, during which he amassed several titles in the Portuguese Championship across various classes including Rotax Mini, Kf3, X30, and X30 Shifter. Additionally, he secured two championships in the Spanish Championship's X30 division. In 2015, he notably achieved runner-up positions in both the Spanish KZ2 championship and the Iame X30 Finals.

Formula Renault

Chaves made his entry into single-seater racing through the 2-litre Formula Renault series, competing full-time in the Formula Renault 2.0 NEC with AVF. Throughout the season, he accumulated points on twelve occasions, with his highest finish being fifth place at Hockenheim, ultimately ranking thirteenth overall. He also took part in three rounds of the 2015 Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0.

In 2016, he remained with AVF to contest full campaigns in both the Eurocup and NEC series. Within the Eurocup, he earned points seven times and finished eleventh in the standings. Meanwhile, his NEC performance included a single top-five finish at Spa but did not result in an improved championship position.

For the 2017 season, Chaves concentrated on the Eurocup with AVF, securing his inaugural podium by finishing second at Silverstone. Despite facing difficulties at Monaco and Pau, he added eight more points-scoring finishes and ended the season twelfth overall.

World Series Formula V8 3.5

Chaves extended his collaboration with AVF to compete in the World Series Formula V8 3.5, joining for the season finale at Bahrain International Circuit. He triumphed in his debut race starting from a front-row position, becoming only the seventh driver to win on debut since the series inception in 1998. In the subsequent race, although again starting from the front row, he was taken out by Alfonso Celis Jr., missing out on a probable podium finish.

European Le Mans Series

In 2018, Chaves shifted focus to sports car racing by entering the 2018 European Le Mans Series LMP2 category with AVF. While results were limited, he exhibited notable skill and maturity behind the wheel. He recorded the fastest lap during the series Prologue and demonstrated competitive speed with podium challenges at Monza and Silverstone; however, technical difficulties forced retirements.

International GT Open

The year 2019 saw Chaves transition to GT racing with Teo Martín Motorsport, piloting the newly introduced McLaren 720S GT3 alongside teammate Martin Kodrić. He achieved six podium finishes, two fastest laps, and secured victory at the final round of the season, concluding third overall—the highest championship placement worldwide for a McLaren 720S GT3 that year.

Chaves continued with Teo Martín Motorsport in 2020, partnering with Miguel Ramos to claim the International GT Open championship after an intense finale. His campaign included two wins, six podiums, and seven fastest laps, reinforcing his reputation as a top-tier GT driver and delivering exceptional results for McLaren GT3.
