Willi Krakau (born 4 December 1911 and died 26 April 1995) was a German racing driver who competed in a variety of formulae during the 1940s and 1950s, including Formula Two. He entered into the 1952 German Grand Prix in a privately entered AFM car, but did not start the race despite qualifying 28th on the grid.
Before starting a career in motorsport, he was a member of the German rowing team at the 1936 Summer Olympics held in Berlin.
He began racing in sports cars and Formula Two after World War II. However, his career was somewhat secretive at first, since Germany had not yet been readmitted into international sports.
He retired from motorsport at the end of the 1952 season, selling his race car.
