Kosuke Matsuura (松浦 孝亮, Matsūra Kōsuke, born September 4, 1979) is a Japanese race car driver currently competing in the Super GT series.

His struggles prompted speculation from media and fans that he might be dropped by Panther Racing, culminating on July 20, 2007, when Speed TV posted an article on its website stating that Matsuura would be immediately replaced by Autobacs Racing Team Aguri Indy Pro Series driver Hideki Mutoh.

While the report was incorrect[1] and the article has since been removed,[2] it did little to stop speculation that Matsuura would be replaced following the 2007 season.

This prompted Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network play-by-play Mike King to suggest that the finish may help him stay in IndyCar Series for the 2008 season.

The finish, however, only came in the aftermath of his avoiding a major back straightaway incident involving most of the front half of the field.
