Henri Louveau (25 January 1910 – 7 January 1991) was a French racing driver.
Louveau began his racing career in cycling, and later transitioned into cars. He served in the French Army during World War II, and was deployed in Africa. Louveau achieved second place during the 1949 24 Hours of Le Mans, competing with a Delage D6S. He competed in two Formula One Grands Prix utilizing Talbot-Lago cars, including the 1950 Italian Grand Prix and 1951 Swiss Grand Prix, but did not finish either race. As a result of a crash at the 1951 Swiss Grand Prix, Louveau retired from competitive racing. Following his retirement, he became a car salesman in Paris.[1][2][3][4]
