The 1979 German Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on 29 July 1979 at the Hockenheimring.

The race, contested over 45 laps, was the tenth race of the 1979 Formula One season and was won by Alan Jones, driving a Williams-Ford, with team-mate Clay Regazzoni second and Jacques Laffite third in a Ligier-Ford.

This was the second consecutive win for the Williams team, following Regazzoni's triumph at Silverstone two weeks previously.

Jean-Pierre Jabouille had taken pole position in his Renault, but out-braked himself and spun off chasing Jones into the Sachskurve on the seventh lap.

Jones had a leaky rear tire for the last twenty laps of the race, but Regazzoni received orders to stay behind.
