The Zurich Street Circuit was a street circuit located in Zurich, Switzerland, used for the Zürich ePrix of the Formula E Championship, and held its first race, as well as the first Swiss motor race since 1954, the 2018 Zürich ePrix on 10 June 2018.

Subsequently on 21 September 2017, the Zürich ePrix was then announced to be added to the Calendar of the 2017–18 Formula E Championship.
