Kenneth McAlpine OBE DL (21 September 1920 – 8 April 2023) was a British racing driver from England.

[3] During the development of the Connaught Racing Team based at Send in Surrey, McAlpine became a considerable financial backer[2] and enjoyed several team owner triumphs including Tony Brooks's memorable F1 victory at the 1955 Syracuse Grand Prix.

[4] The team was eventually broken up in 1957 and cars sold off after McAlpine ceased receiving tax concessions.

[5] McAlpine and co-driver Eric Thompson took part in the 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans driving a Connaught ALSR.

After retiring from motor racing, McAlpine returned full-time to his civil engineering business and later established a successful English wine growing and bottling business at his estate in Lamberhurst, Kent.
