**Ernesto Prinoth** (15 April 1923 – 26 November 1981) was a [racing driver](/source/Racing_driver) from [Italy](/source/Italy), and founder of [Prinoth AG](/source/Prinoth_AG), manufacturer of [snow grooming](/source/Snow_grooming) vehicles and equipment.

Prinoth started in Formula One in 1961 with his [Lotus](/source/Team_Lotus) [18](/source/Lotus_18), racing in various non-Championship events, securing podium finishes in two relatively minor races. He entered the [1962 Italian Grand Prix](/source/1962_Italian_Grand_Prix) with backing from Scuderia Jolly Club but failed to qualify, and this was his only attempt at a World Championship [Formula One](/source/Formula_One) event. He returned in 1963 for two more Formula One races, all his appearances being at the wheel of the same car.

Prinoth's son Erich was also a racing driver, and competed in the [Ferrari Challenge](/source/Ferrari_Challenge).[1]
