The 1948 Monaco Grand Prix was a non-championship Grand Prix motor race, held in Monte Carlo on 16 May 1948.
The first event under a new formula, 1½ litres supercharged or 4½ litres naturally aspirated, it featured a motley crowd of marques. Giuseppe Farina would take the win, after early leader Jean-Pierre Wimille hit mechanical problems.
