McLaren Automotive (often simply McLaren) is a British automaker founded by Bruce McLaren and is based at the McLaren Technology Campus in Woking Surrey. It produces and manufactures sports and luxury cars usually produced in-house at designated production facilities. In July 2017 McLaren Automotive became 100% owned by the wider McLaren Technology Group.

McLaren Automotive replaced McLaren Cars in 2010. McLaren Cars was founded in 1985 by Ron Dennis the company which went on to release the McLaren F1 in 1992. Between 1994 and 2010 McLaren Cars was registered as a 'dormant company' before the founding of McLaren Automotive in 2010. The new company was originally separate from the existing McLaren companies to enable investment in the new venture but was brought together in July 2017 after Dennis sold his shares in McLaren Automotive and McLaren Technology Group.
