Moises Solana Arciniega (born December 26 1935 - died July 27 1969) was a Formula One driver from Mexico. He participated in 8 World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on October 27, 1963. He scored no championship points. He also participated in one non-Championship Formula One race. He also took part in Formula 2 in 1968 with Team Lotus at the Jarama circuit near Madrid, Spain.

In 1968, Solana tested a Formula 2 car for Ferrari. He also drove for Lola and McLaren in the USRRC/CanAm series between 1966 and 1968, and in March 1968 he won the first point-scoring race of the USRRC 7 Group series in the first international race in Mexico City. He still holds all the records in the Mexican road race categories and those at the Mexican Magdalena Mixhuca circuit[citation needed].

He is the only driver in the history of the Formula One World Championship to race in a Number 13 car, something he did for BRM on his Formula One debut, the 1963 Mexican Grand Prix.

Solana was killed in a hillclimbing accident after he lost control of his McLaren and hit a bridge.
