Highway Racer (originally titled Poliziotto sprint) is a 1977 Italian poliziottesco film directed by Stelvio Massi.

The plot of the film was partly inspired by the career of Armando Spatafora, an Italian "flying squad" police officer whose patrol car was a Ferrari 250 GTE.

Many car chases in the film, such as bank robbers in a Citroen DS as well as cars rolling down the Spanish Steps, mirror famous police chases in Rome during the 1960s.

Highway Racer was the first of six films starring Maurizio Merli that director Stelvio Massi directed between 1977 and 1980.
