Akshay Luciano Bacheta (/ˈækʃ luˈɑːn bæˈɛtə/; born 26 April 1990) is a British stunt driver and former racing driver who competed in the FIA Formula Two Championship from 2011 to 2012.

Born in Romford to Indian parents, Bacheta began competitive kart racing aged 14. He debuted in the 2006 Ginetta Junior Championship, winning the T Cars title that year. After finishing runner-up to Kevin Korjus in the 2010 Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, he competed in FIA Formula Two from 2011 to 2012, winning the latter title with MotorSport Vision. After testing the FW33 with Williams, he then became a race-winner in the 2013 Auto GP Series. After three seasons in sportscar racing, he retired in 2016 to move into stunt driving.

Bacheta made his feature film debut with his stunt work in the Mission: Impossible film Rogue Nation (2015)—he has since worked on Fallout (2018) and Dead Reckoning (2023). He has further performed for The Mummy (2017), Transformers: The Last Knight (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023). He choreographed the racing sequences in F1 (2025), which received widespread acclaim, and made his acting debut as reserve driver Luca Cortez.
