The Australian Sprintcar Grand Prix is an annual dirt track racing meeting held in Australia for Sprintcars. The meeting is traditionally held at the Sydney Speedway (formerly the Parramatta City Raceway) and was first staged in the 1978/79 season.

The first Australian Sprintcar Grand Prix was held in 1978/79 and was won by Sydney-based driver Garry Rush.

The race is currently known as the Valvoline Australian Sprintcar Grand Prix due to sponsorship from oil company Valvoline.

The 2015/16 Grand Prix was scheduled to be held on Boxing day (26 December), but due to rain was re-scheduled for the next day. The re-scheduled meeting was won for the second year in succession by American driver Brad Sweet.
