The 2005 Macau Grand Prix (formally the 52nd Macau Grand Prix) was a Formula Three (F3) motor race held on the streets of Macau on 20 November 2005. Unlike other races, such as the Masters of Formula 3, the 2005 Macau Grand Prix was not a part of any F3 championship, but was open to entries from all F3 championships. The race itself consisted of two races: a ten-lap qualifying race to set the starting grid for the fifteen-lap main race. The Macau Grand Prix took place for the 52nd time in 2005, and the 23rd time for F3 cars.
Manor Motorsport's Lucas di Grassi won the Grand Prix after finishing third in the previous day's qualification race won by ASM Formule 3's Loïc Duval. After Duval was penalised for a jump start, Di Grassi took the lead and held it until Carlin Motorsport's Robert Kubica passed him on lap ten. After three laps behind the safety car due to a three-car accident at Faraway Hill corner, di Grassi retook the lead from Kubica on lap 14 and held it for the rest of the race to achieve the first victory in Macau for a Brazilian driver since Maurício Gugelmin in the 1985 edition. Second was Kubica while third was the highest-placed rookie Sebastian Vettel of ASM Formule 3.
