Algarve Pro Racing (APR) is a Portuguese sports car racing team founded in 2010 by husband and wife Stewart and Samantha Cox. The team focuses on prototype racing, fielding LMP2 entries in the European Le Mans Series and IMSA SportsCar Championship, the latter in partnership with CrowdStrike Racing. APR ran cars for the Russian endurance team G-Drive Racing during the 2021 season, ending their partnership following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Notable accolades include the 2023 European Le Mans Series title, as well as LMP2 Pro-Am subclass victories at the 2022 and 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans. As of 2026, they are also six-time champions of the Asian Le Mans Series, with titles garnered alongside CrowdStrike and G-Drive as well as under their own name.

Their list of alumni includes renowned sportscar drivers Adam Carroll, Nicky Catsburg, Olivier Pla, Nick Tandy, Oliver Jarvis, Loïc Duval, Yifei Ye, Mikkel Jensen, Alex Lynn, René Rast, Ben Hanley, and Jack Hawksworth, as well as former F1 drivers such as Nyck de Vries, Pietro Fittipaldi and Franco Colapinto.
