Julian Theobald (born 11 November 1984 in Giessen) is a former German professional racing driver.

Formula König

Following a background in karting, Theobald transitioned to single-seater racing in 2002 by entering the German Formula König championship. He advanced from finishing 23rd in his initial year to securing 11th place in 2003, narrowly outpacing his younger sibling, Johannes.

Formula Renault 2.0

In 2004, Theobald moved up to compete in the Formula Renault 2000 Germany series. Across eleven events, he accumulated 23 points, which positioned him 28th in the final standings.

Formula Three

The following year, Theobald ascended to Formula Three, joining the German Formula Three Championship with SMS Seyffarth Junior Team alongside his brother. He began the season piloting a Renault-powered Dallara F302 but switched mid-season to a Dallara F303 equipped with a Mercedes engine. He concluded the season 11th overall, highlighted by setting the fastest lap during the penultimate round at Lausitzring.

In 2006, Theobald competed in the Formula Three Euroseries, entering the newly established Trophy Class designated for older chassis (2002–2004). Despite financial constraints limiting him to participating in only half of the season's races, he clinched the Trophy Class championship after seven rounds at Zandvoort, achieving six class victories out of ten starts.

Formula Renault 3.5 Series

After conducting tests with Pons Racing late in 2006, Theobald made his debut in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series at Donington Park in September 2007, stepping in for Jaap van Lagen at Eurointernational. Competing in the final eight races of that season, he did not score points, with his best results being two 18th-place finishes at Donington and the concluding round at Barcelona. His brother Johannes joined him for a one-off appearance at Estoril.

In 2008, Theobald secured a contract with British outfit Fortec Motorsport shortly before the season commenced at Monza. He participated in the first four races held at Monza and Spa-Francorchamps, after which he was replaced by Fairuz Fauzy starting from the Monaco round.

Formula Two

After not competing during 2009, both Theobald brothers took part in the pre-event test for the FIA Formula Two Championship at Brands Hatch in July 2010. Subsequently, Julian was confirmed to race at the Brands Hatch round during the 2010 season.
