Hans Klenk was a German racing driver who competed in Formula 1, the premier single-seater championship. He made one Grand Prix start for Veritas in 1952.[1]

Klenk's sole Formula 1 appearance came on 3 August 1952 at a race that drew competitors across a range of experience levels from amateurs to graded professionals. He finished 13th in the championship standings for that season without scoring points. Outside of Formula 1, Klenk won the 1952 La Carrera Panamericana, a long-distance road race, driving a Mercedes-Benz W194 alongside Karl Kling.[2]
