The 2026 Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 MSC Cruises Gran Premio de Barcelona-Catalunya 2026) was a Formula One motor race held on 14 June 2026 at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Montmeló, Spain. It was the seventh round of the 2026 Formula One World Championship and the first running of the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.

George Russell (Mercedes) secured pole position for the race and was leading until late on when Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) passed him on an alternate three-stop strategy, which was further optimised with the help of a well-timed virtual safety car. Hamilton won the Grand Prix, taking his first victory for Ferrari, his first Grand Prix win since the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix. At 41, he became the oldest Formula One Grand Prix winner since Jack Brabham at the 1970 South African Grand Prix. Russell finished second, with Lando Norris (McLaren) third, producing the first all-British Formula One podium since the 1968 United States Grand Prix. Championship leader Kimi Antonelli retired late in the race, reducing his lead over Hamilton in the Drivers' Championship to 41 points.
