Andy Soucek (born June 14, 1985 in Madrid, Spain) is a professional racecar driver best known for winning the 2005 Spanish Formula Three championship.

Soucek's father is Austrian, and he has Austrian nationality, although he was born in Spain and has spent most of his life there. He races under the Spanish flag because he "feels Spanish".[1] Soucek's career started in professional karting events during 1997, although he would not make a formula debut until his Portuguese Formula Ford drive of 2001. In 2002 he continued with karting whilst driving in Spanish Formula Three. In 2003 he ended his karting commitments, moving to the EV team. He remained with EV during 2004 but would also drive two races for the GTA team. 2005 would be his key year, though, with Soucek's move to the Llusia team paying off after he won the title.

After being in contention for the 2006 Championship in the World Series by Renault, Soucek will race in the GP2 Series for 2007.
