The 1953 Swiss Grand Prix was a Formula Two race held on 23 August 1953 at Bremgarten Circuit.

World Champion Ferrari driver Alberto Ascari won the race, the last race win and finish of his career.

The race marked the brief return of Grand Prix-era legend Hermann Lang.

He was given a chance to participate in Formula 1 racing driving for Officine Alfieri Maserati after one of their team drivers was injured.

He raced in two World Drivers' Championship events overall—one in 1953 and one in 1954—and his result here, a fifth-place finish, was his best result.
