Ryan Dalziel (i/dˈɛl/ dee-el; born 12 April 1982 in Glasgow), is a Scottish race car driver. He spent three years in the Toyota Atlantic championship, finishing runner-up twice, before moving to the American Le Mans series in 2005. He also contested one Champ Car race for Dale Coyne Racing at Toronto, finishing 9th. In 2006, he drove a Daytona Prototype in the Rolex Sports Car Series Series. From 2007-2009, he drove part time with various teams in the Daytona Prototype class, then returned full time in 2010.

Dalziel returned to the Champ Car World Series in 2007 as driver of one of the two Pacific Coast Motorsports cars. He was dropped by the team and replaced by Mario Dominguez in September 2007, with two races of the season remaining. His best Champ Car finish was 7th place in the Toronto Grand Prix, at the only track he raced a ChampCar at more than once. In 2008 he piloted SAMAX Motorsport's BMW-Riley Daytona Prototype alongside teammate Henri Zogaib. He also competed in the inaugural season of Superleague Formula.

In 2009 Zogaib became under investigation for operating a Ponzi scheme in which he reportedly conned Dalziel and his father out of $550,000 USD. In May 2009, Dalziel won his judgement over Zogaib in the amount of $608,000USD and continues to legally battle to retrieve his money. In 2009 Dalziel competed for Orbit Racing in the Grand American Sports Car Series recording one podium finish and numerous top tens.

On January 31, 2010, Dalziel and teammates Terry Borcheller, João Barbosa and Mike Rockenfeller won the Rolex 24 at Daytona driving a Porsche Riley for Action Express Racing. Following this, he began driving full time for Starworks Motorsports alongside Mike Forest.[1]
