International Auto Racing Track Nelson Piquet (Portuguese: Autódromo Internacional Nelson Piquet) is a race course in Brasília, the capital of Brazil. With 5.476 km of length, the name of the circuit was originally Autódromo de Brasília at the establishment in 1974, but later changed to the current name. The circuit brought the a non-championship Formula One race to Brasília at the end of the 1974 season.

From 1995, the circuit was leased to NZ Empreendimentos, one of the Nelson Piquet's companies, by the government of the Brazilian Federal District. But in 2006, the Federal District regained the control to manage the circuit due to NZ Empreendimentos' lack of management.
