Marco Michael Andretti (born March 13, 1987) is an American professional auto racing driver. He last competed part-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, driving the No. 04 Chevrolet Silverado for Roper Racing and part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 17 Chevrolet SS for Cook Racing Technologies.

Marco was born to Sandra and eventual IndyCar champion Michael Andretti. Marco's paternal grandfather Mario was a highly successful racing driver, who raced professionally for four decades and had success in the United States and all over the globe in various categories of racing, including winning the Formula One Drivers' Championship in 1978. Other Andretti family members also have had success in various categories of racing.

Andretti won eight races in the 2003 Barber Formula Dodge Eastern Championship, and was champion in the Barber National and Southern class the following year.

Still barely out of high school, he raced in the Star Mazda series in 2005 and also made six starts in the Indy Pro Series. He won three times – at St. Petersburg, the Liberty Challenge, and Sonoma – and finished 10th in points despite only starting half the races.

Motorsports journalist Gordon Kirby suggested at the Champ Car finale in Mexico City that the youngest Andretti would be replacing Dan Wheldon in his No. 26 Jim Beam Dallara-Honda for 2006 with Michael Andretti coming out of retirement to run a fifth car for his Andretti Green Racing team at the Indianapolis 500. Though a novel proposition to some, it was later confirmed in a December 15 press conference that he would move up to the Indy Racing League full-time as the youngest driver in series history and would trade sponsors – the New York Stock Exchange and Motorola – with Dario Franchitti as Andretti was not old enough to run an alcohol-sponsored car.
