This is a list of circuits which have hosted a FIA World Championship race from 1950 to 2011, or which will host one in 2012.

In total, 68 different circuits have hosted World Championship races. The first to do so was Silverstone, where the first World Championship race, the 1950 British Grand Prix, was held. The most recent new venue to have hosted a race is the Buddh International Circuit, which hosted the Indian Grand Prix in 2011. The Circuit of the Americas is set to become the latest host of the United States Grand Prix in 2012, on a brand-new and purpose-built permanent circuit in Austin, Texas. The longest circuit was the Pescara Circuit (25 km) which normally held the Coppa Acerbo race, and hosted one World Championship race, the 1957 Pescara Grand Prix. One of the most famous is the old Nürburgring (22 km) which hosted the German Grand Prix from 1951 to 1976.
