Marco Cioci (born 26 September 1975 in Rome) is an Italian racing driver. A long-term Ferrari factory driver, he found success predominantly in the LMGTE Am class, but famously won the inaugural FIA WEC race, the 2012 12 Hours of Sebring, in LMGTE Pro. He is also the most decorated driver at the 6 Hours of Vallelunga with six overall wins.[1][2]

In 2021, together with Giancarlo Fisichella, he founded Top Gun by Pro Racing, a racing school aiming to help young karting drivers on their step up to cars.[3][4][5]
