Ingeborg Stoll-Laforge (11 February 1930, Brand, Germany - 24 August 1959) was a female German motorcycle racer.

Inge Stol competed as a female passenger with sidecar driver Jacques Drion and won the 1952 and 1954 French Sidecar Championship. From 1952 to 1957, Inge Stoll and Jacques Drion competed in the World Sidercar Championship.

The re-inroduction of the Sidecar TT Race for the 1954 Isle of Man TT Race was controversial as it was opposed by the motor-cycle manufacturers and also for the inclusion of Inge Stoll as the first female competitor at a Isle of Man TT race.^[1]

At the 1958 Czechoslovakian Grand Prix, a non-championship event, the Norton sidecar outfit of Jacques Drion and Inge Stoll while holding 2nd place left the road on a right-hand corner on the last lap. The sidecar outfit hit a fence and turned-over and Inge Stol was killed instantly and Jacques Drion died after being admitted to hospital.
