John Brian Naylor (24 March 1923 – 8 August 1989)[1] was a British racing driver from England. He participated in seven Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on 3 August 1958. He scored no championship points.

The son of a wealthy Stockport motor dealer, Naylor financed the building of his own Cooper-based JBW car, which he raced in several grands prix, although the car was out of its depth at that level.

He finished 42nd in the 1961 Daytona 500 becoming the first European driver to compete in NASCAR.[2]
