Marco Werner (born April 27, 1966 in Dortmund) is a professional racer from Germany.
In his early career, Werner was Formula Opel vice-champion in 1990 (behind Mika Häkkinen) and German F3 vice-champion in 1991 (behind Pedro Lamy).
Having failed to graduate to Formula 1, Werner switched to sports car racing and touring car racing. Werner was a regular driver in the STW and Porsche Supercup during the 1990s, but he found more success in the 24 Hours of Daytona, which he won in 1995 in a Kremer-Porsche.
In 2001 he joined Audi Sport Team Joest, becoming a regular driver in the American Le Mans Series. Werner won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2005 with an Audi R8, and in 2006 in an Audi R10.
