The 2008 Macau Grand Prix (formally the 55th Windsor Arch Macau Grand Prix) was a Formula Three (F3) car race held on the streets of Macau on 16 November 2008. Unlike other races, such as the Masters of Formula 3, the 2008 Macau Grand Prix was not part of any F3 championship, but was open to entries from any F3 championship. The event consisted of two races: a ten-lap qualifying race that set the starting grid for the fifteen-lap main race. The 2008 race was the 55th Macau Grand Prix and the 26th for F3 cars.
TOM'S driver Keisuke Kunimoto won the Grand Prix on his debut in Macau, after finishing second in the previous day's Qualification Race won by Signature-Plus driver Edoardo Mortara. Kunimoto led from the start and held on to become the first Japanese driver to win in Macau since Takuma Sato in 2001, and it was TOM'S second consecutive victory in the Grand Prix. Mortara finished second, with Carlin driver Brendon Hartley in third.
