The 1961 Dutch Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on 22 May 1961 at Zandvoort.

It was race 2 of 8 in both the 1961 World Championship of Drivers and the 1961 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers.

Taking place one week after the Monaco Grand Prix, there was no time for Innes Ireland to heal from his injury in the previous race, so he was replaced by Trevor Taylor.

This continued until about 20 laps from the end when Clark's handling allowed the Ferrari to pull away.

In addition, no drivers made any pit stops; only one of only two World Championship races in history to have this latter distinction - the other being the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix - which was red-flagged after two full laps due to bad weather.
