Albert Wayne Ewing (March 27, 1927 – February 12, 1986) was an American race car builder. Ewing started as engineer on drag-racers, before joining as a metal-working engineer on the Indy car team assembled by A. J. Watson. Ewing occasionally branched out as an independent builder, and his cars competed in several Indianapolis 500s. Notably, Eddie Sachs qualified on the pole for the 1960 Indianapolis 500 driving a Ewing-constructed car.
