The 1972 Brazilian Grand Prix was a Formula One non-championship race held at Interlagos on 30 March 1972. It was the inaugural Brazilian Grand Prix.
This race was held because at that time the FIA regulations required a demonstration race to be held as a quality check, before a Grand Prix was admitted as a championship race.
