Greg Mansell (born 8 November 1987 on the Isle of Man) is a British racing driver currently racing in the Atlantic Championship. He is the son of Formula One world champion, Nigel Mansell, and younger brother of fellow racing driver Leo Mansell.

Greg and his older brother have always raced in the same series, starting with Karting in 2005. The brothers moved into single-seater racing in 2006, in the Formula BMW UK series.

Greg Finished 3rd and on the podium for the first time in 2007 at Donnington Park in the 3rd British Formula Three round.
