Pierre-Henri Raphanel (born 27 May 1961) is a retired French racing driver.

He participated in 17 Formula One Grand Prix events representing teams such as Larrousse, Coloni, and Rial. His debut took place on 13 November 1988. Notably, he managed to qualify for only one race during his F1 career—the 1989 Monaco Grand Prix—making him unique as the only Formula One driver whose single race appearance was at Monaco.

Following his stint in Formula One, Raphanel joined Toyota as a factory driver, competing in Japan’s JTCC and JGTC series up until the year 2000. Beginning in 2006, he took on the role of lead test driver and product expert for Bugatti, frequently showcasing the capabilities of the Veyron.

He is related to French-Algerian racer Julien Gerbi as his uncle and is also connected to emerging karting prospect Arthur Raphanel.

In July 2010, Raphanel achieved the top speed of 431.072 km/h driving the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport at Ehra-Lessien.
