Watkins Glen Grand Prix Course, 1948–1952 is a historic Sports Car Club of America auto race track located at Watkins Glen in Schuyler County, New York. It includes the public rights of way that constituted the route of the original 6.6-mile (10.6 km) Watkins Glen Grand Prix course used from 1948 to 1952. After a car left the road in the 1952 race, killing one spectator and injuring several others, the race was moved to a new location on a wooded hilltop southwest of town.^[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.^[1]
