This is a list of circuits which have hosted a FIA World Championship race from 1950 to 2008.

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 longest was 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.

Various different forms of race track have been used throughout the history of Formula One; purpose-built race tracks such as Suzuka, road tracks such as Spa and city street tracks such as Monaco.

Current circuits (those 18 tracks which will host a race in the 2008 season) are shown in bold.
