Jon Beekhuis (/ˌjɒn ˈbiːkəs/; born March 31, 1960) is an American former race car driver. Beekhuis was born in Zurich, Switzerland while his American father was studying at ETH Zurich, and grew up in California. The 1988 ARS (Indy Lights) champion, Beekhuis drove in 14 CART races from 1989 to 1992. He, however, never drove in the Indianapolis 500. His best finish was an 8th at the 1990 Michigan 500. He later became a pit reporter for ESPN and then SPEED/CBS coverage of CART & Champ Car races.

Beekhuis moved to the booth as Champ Car television's lead *yst in 2007. In 2008 he was the pit reporter for select IndyCar Series races in Edmonton and Surfers Paradise.

Since 2009, he has worked in varying capacities for NBC Sports Network's (formerly Versus) broadcast of the IndyCar Series, currently serving as a pit reporter alongside Robin Miller, Kevin Lee, and Kelli Stavast.

In 2015, ESPN announced that Beekhuis would return to work for ESPN & ABC and their coverage of five IndyCar races, including the Indianapolis 500.

His daughter, Jaye, is a published author.
