Oscar Alfredo Gálvez (born 17 August 1913 and died 16 December 1989) was an Argentine Formula One driver who participated in the 1953 Argentine Grand Prix for Maserati, finishing 5th and earning two championship points. The Autódromo Juan y Oscar Gálvez in Buenos Aires is named after him and his brother.
Gálvez competed in the Turismo Carretera series with his younger brother Juan during the 1940s and 1950s. He won the championship five times.
After he died from pancreatic cancer in 1989, the Buenos Aires circuit that had hosted the Argentine Grand Prix was renamed to the Autódromo Oscar Alfredo Gálvez. In 2008, the circuit was renamed again to the Autódromo Oscar y Juan Gálvez, to include his brother's name.
