Moisés Solana Arciniega (December 26, 1935 - July 27, 1969) was a racing driver from Mexico. He participated in eight Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on October 27, 1963, and scoring no championship points. He also participated in one non-Championship Formula One race. He also took part in Formula Two in 1968 with Team Lotus at the Jarama circuit near Madrid, Spain.
In 1968, Solana tested a Formula Two car for Ferrari. He also drove for Lola and McLaren in the USRRC/CanAm series between 1966 and 1968, and in March 1968 he won the first point-scoring race of the USRRC Group 7 series in the first international race in Mexico City. He still holds all the records in the Mexican road race categories and those at the Mexican Magdalena Mixhuca circuit.
He is the only driver in the history of the Formula One World Championship to race in a Number 13 car, something he did for BRM on his Formula One debut, the 1963 Mexican Grand Prix.
On July 29, 1969, Solana was killed in a hillclimbing Valle de Bravo-Bosencheve in Mexico in a fatal accident after he lost control of his McLaren and hit a bridge.
