The Valkean Grand Prix is an annual grand prix event that is part of the Astyrian Formula One championship. It is currently held at the Vestola Circuit outside of Orava, Valkea. Held towards the end of the AstyF1 calendar, it was historically the venue for many of the sport's title-deciding races, crowning champions such as Clayton Norris and Augustus Tertullius in some years.

The first Formula One grand prix to be held on Valkean soil was in 1976 as the Astyrian Grand Prix, becoming the Valkean Grand Prix a year later. The race was held three times at Maarinnat International Circuit before being dropped from the calendar. It made its return in 1986 at the Vestola Circuit in Orava, where it was continuously held until 2008. In 2009, the race returned to a redesigned Maarinnat Circuit, with Vestola returning to host in 2010 as part of an agreement between the owners of the two circuits to alternate hosting each year. However, Maarrinat Circuit announced that it would not be hosting after 2021, leaving Vestola Circuit as the only venue for the grand prix starting from 2022.
