Fabio Babini (born 3 November 1969) is an Italian professional racing driver and entrepreneur.[3]

Born in Faenza, Babini started his career in single-seaters in Italian F3, becoming a test driver for the Reynard brand before moving on to the Italian GT Series (1995–1997) and Russian Formula Three (1997–1999).

Upon switching to sports car racing, Babini won the 2000 24 Hours of Daytona and 2001 24 Hours of Le Mans in class and soon became a mainstay of the FIA GT Championship. He raced prominently for Porsche, Chrysler, Ferrari, Maserati and Aston Martin from 2001 to 2009. Babini later served as a Lamborghini works driver, winning titles in Super Trofeo Europe (2009, 2011) and Le Mans Cup (2017), as well as the 2015 Blancpain Endurance Series opener.
