The 1936 French Grand Prix (formally the XXX Grand Prix de l'Automobile Club de France) was a Grand Prix motor race which was held at Montlhéry, France on 28 June 1936.
The race was won by Jean-Pierre Wimille and Raymond Sommer driving a Bugatti.
Due to national outcry as a result of the 1935 Grand Prix where just one French car started which was uncompetitive and failed to finish, it was decided that for 1936 the race should be held as an endurance race for sports cars, with rules very similar to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and featured a Le Mans start.
Many entrants considered this race to be a replacement for the cancelled 1936 24 Hours of Le Mans.
