Mike Harris was a Northern Rhodesian racing driver who later settled in South Africa. His motorsport career on record consists of a single Formula 1 start, at the 1962 South African Grand Prix, driving for Cooper-Alfa Romeo. He did not finish the race, retiring before the chequered flag.[1]

Harris's involvement in the sport appears to have been brief and amateur in nature, with no championship wins or podium finishes across his recorded racing activity. His Racer Rating of 2,950 places him in the lower amateur bracket of competitive motorsport. The single-car team record reflects the limited data available from his era of racing.[2]
