Katherine Anne Legge (/ˈlɛɡ/ LEG; born 12 July 1980) is a British professional auto racing driver who has competed in the highest levels of global motorsport, including NASCAR, IndyCar Series, IMSA SportsCar Championship. She holds the record for the fastest qualifying effort for a woman in Indianapolis 500 history, set in 2023, and became the first woman to win a major open-wheel race in North America in 2005. In NASCAR, Legge is the most recent — and first since Danica Patrick’s retirement in 2018 — woman to start a NASCAR Cup Series race.

Legge is represented by BRANDed Management and long-time talent manager Klint Briney, who also oversaw the career of nine-time Indy 500 starter Sarah Fisher.
