Michelle Halder (born 25 July 1999) is a German racing driver competing in the AT2 class of the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie for Giti Tire Motorsport by WS Racing.

Personal life Halder is the sister of fellow racing driver Mike Halder.

Career Halder began karting in 2007, competing until 2014. In her karting career, she most notably won the 2011 Kart Trophy Weiss Blau in the Mini class and the 2013 ADAC Kart Bundesendlauf title in the KF3 class ahead of her step-up to single-seaters.

In 2015, Halder made her single-seater debut in the ADAC Formula 4 Championship for Engstler Motorsport. In her first season in cars, she scored a best result of 20th twice on her way to 47th in points. Despite returning to the series and team for 2016, Halder only scored a best result of 23rd at the Red Bull Ring before leaving single-seaters at the end of the year.

Following a season in the Spezial-Tourenwagen-Trophy (STT), in which she scored one overall podium, Halder joined the ADAC TCR Germany Touring Car Championship with her family-owned team Halder Motorsport. In the second round of the season at Most, Halder scored her maiden series podium by finishing second in race two but collected maximum points as race winner Petr Fulín was a guest driver. Halder then scored her second and final podium of the season in race two at Sachsenring by finishing second and taking the fastest lap, which helped her end the year ninth in points.

Halder and her team returned to the series for 2019. In her sophomore season in the series, Halder took her only overall win in the series in race two at Circuit Zandvoort, en route to a seventh-place points finish. The following year, Halder returned to the series with her family-owned team, but left the series despite collecting maximum points at the Nürburgring. Switching to TCR Europe for the rest of the season, Halder became the first woman to take an overall win in the series at Zolder as she ended the year 15th in points.

The following year, Halder competed in both the SP8T class of the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie and the TCR Spain Touring Car Championship. In the former, Halder finished fourth in the class standings, whereas in TCR Spain, she ended the year third overall after scoring two wins. Halder then returned to TCR Europe for 2022, taking just five points finishes all season with a best result of 13th at the Norisring on her way to 21st in points.

Having made her debut in TCR Denmark at the end of 2022, Halder returned to the series for the following year, albeit on a full-time basis as she joined TPR Motorsport. In her only full-time season in the series, Halder scored a best result of fifth at Ring Djursland as she ended the year 11th in points.

Halder returned to Nürburgring-based races for 2024, also making her debut in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, winning in the AT 2 class on her debut and also taking a class win in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie that same year. The following year, Halder remained in the NLS and once again returned to the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, finishing third in the AT 2 class.
