Mike Beuttler (13 April 1940 - 29 December 1988) was a British Formula One driver who raced privately entered March cars. He was born in Cairo, Egypt.

He was a talented Formula 3 graduate from the late 1960s, who then graduated to Formula 2 and then to Formula 1 in 1971. The finance for the team came from a group of stockbroker friends from whom the team took its name - at first Clarke-Mordaunt-Guthrie Racing, and in 1973 it became Clarke-Mordaunt-Guthrie-Durlacher Racing. He raced on one occasion, at the 1971 Canadian Grand Prix, for the works March team. Beuttler's best result was a seventh place in the 1973 Spanish Grand Prix.

Beuttler retired from racing the following year and eventually moved to the United States, where he died of complications resulting from AIDS in 1988, in Los Angeles, aged 48.
