Théo Jérôme Julien Pourchaire (French pronunciation: [te.o puʁ.ʃɛʁ]; born 20 August 2003) is a French racing driver who currently competes in the 2025 European Le Mans Series with Algarve Pro Racing. He is the 2023 Formula 2 champion, as well as the 2020 Formula 3 and 2022 Formula 2 runner-up. Pourchaire also serves as the test and development driver for Peugeot in the FIA World Endurance Championship.
A former member of the Sauber Academy, Pourchaire started racing in single-seaters in 2018, and proceeded to win the Junior French F4 Championship. The following year, he moved up and won the 2019 ADAC Formula 4 Championship, scrapping with Dennis Hauger to the title. Pourchaire signed with ART Grand Prix for the 2020 FIA Formula 3 Championship and ended the season as runner-up behind Oscar Piastri by three points.
The team then promoted him to the FIA Formula 2 Championship in 2021, ranking fifth in the standings during his rookie year. The Frenchman was runner-up in 2022, and claimed the title in 2023. In 2024, he temporarily raced in IndyCar with Arrow McLaren, initially to substitute for the injured David Malukas before being signed permanently, but later being dropped in place of Nolan Siegel.
