Dean Justin Canto (born 24 September 1980) is a multiple-championship winning Australian motor racing driver.

With concerns allayed, Canto then took the time to adjust to the condition, renew his confidence and focus, stronger than ever, on more driving success.

Canto's times were so fast that he could qualify in the Supercars Top 20 (even though the Development cars had a 100 kg lead weight disadvantage).

He asked Canto to fill the vacant seat of the #34 Valvoline Repco Cummins VZ Commodore for the Indy 300 and Tasmanian rounds of the V8 Supercar Championship Series.

Canto signed a multi-year deal with GRM as the team's lead driver for their assault on the 2006 V8 Supercar Championship Series.

[3] The 2006 series saw Canto achieve his first win in the main category, the reverse grid race at Barbagallo Raceway.

[4] Canto returned to the Development series with Howard Racing but just missed out on his third title, finishing second to Steve Owen.
