Fraser McConnell (born September 9, 1998) is a Jamaican professional racing driver. McConnell is the most competitively successful Jamaican driver in the history of international rallycross racing—his championship victory in the 2019 Americas RallyCross Championship marked the first and only championship win by a Jamaican driver in the series’ history.[1] In 2021, McConnell became the first and only Jamaican to claim a supercar victory in the Rally X Nordic league.[2][3][4][5] In 2021, McConnell's debut supercar campaign received public recognition from Usain Bolt and Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness.[6][7]

McConnell currently competes professionally Dreyer & Reinbold Racing in the Group E class of Nitrocross.
