The 1962 British Grand Prix, officially advertised as the XV RAC British Grand Prix, played host to the fifth race of the 1962 FIA Formula One World Championship on the 21st of July. The race would be staged at Aintree for the second season in a row, with Silverstone unable to host the race despite a previous agreement to play host with Aintree on alternate years, leaving the FIA to hastily arrange the replacement venue.
