Wayne Boyd (born 25 October 1990) is a British racing driver from County Antrim, Northern Ireland.

Boyd won the British Formula Ford Championship in 2008 with Jamun Racing. He won 13 out of 25 championship races. He sat on the pole for 15 races and was on the podium 20 times out of 25 races. In the same year, he won the Formula Ford Festival Duratec class. His dominate performance earned him named as one of British Racing Driver Club Superstars and nominated for the BRDC McLaren Autosport Award. Boyd also won the Walter Hayes Trophy in 2014 and won the Formula Ford Festival for a second time in 2015.

In 2009, Boyd raced full-time in the British Formula Three Championship for T-Sport and won a race at Donington Park. He started that race outside thetop-ten and in the rain raced his way to the win on slicks. At the Macau GP, Boyd walked away from an incredible crash - surviving after landing upside down and will be remembered as a great escape. He finished 12th in points overall. He was again nominated as BRDC Superstars and British MSA Race Elite Driver.

In 2010, financial constraints only allowed Boyd to make two one-off races Hockenheimring for Sino Vision Racing in British F3, the second was the F3 Masters event at Zandvoort in which he started 24th on the grid and finished eighth in poor weather conditions.

In 2011, Boyd signed to race for Belardi Auto Racing in the U.S. F2000 National Championship in America. The deal came together days before the start of the season. He captured two wins, including one on the oval at the Milwaukee Mile, six podiums in total and finished third in the Championship points behind Petri Suvanto and Spencer Pigot.

In 2012, Boyd raced two event weekends for Belardi Auto Racing at Baltimore and Virginia International Raceway posting a third- and second-place finish at VIR.
