The 1971 Dutch Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Zandvoort on 20 June 1971. It was race 4 of 11 in both the 1971 World Championship of Drivers and the 1971 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers. Due to heavy rain, the track was treacherously wet and slippery, giving a large advantage to "wet-weather men" Jacky Ickx and Pedro Rodriguez, who also happened to be equipped with highly suitable cars and tyres.

Notes
This was the Formula One World Championship debut for that year's Le Mans winner and Dutch driver Gijs van Lennep and Australian driver David Walker. This was the 10th fastest lap set by a Belgian driver. This was the 50th race for British constructor McLaren. This was the Formula One World Championship debut for American engine supplier Pratt & Whitney. For the first time in 42 races, and since the 1967 Canadian Grand Prix, a Ford-powered car did not end in a podium finish. This set a new record.
