The 1963 Australian Grand Prix was a motor race held at Warwick Farm Raceway in New South WalesAustralia on 10 February 1963. Open to Formula Libre cars,[2][3] it was the opening heat of the 1963 Australian Drivers' Championship. The race, which was the twenty eighth Australian Grand Prix, had 16 starters.

The race featured a strong representation of international competitors, with entries from Ecurie Vitesse for Jack BrabhamBruce McLaren for himself, R.R.C. Walker Racing Team for Graham Hill and from the Bowmaker Racing Team for John SurteesTony Maggs and Jim Palmer. Jack Brabham won the race, his second Australian Grand Prix victory, after a battle with John Surtees. It was the first AGP victory by a driver in a self-developed car since Doug Whiteford won in his "Black Bess" Ford V8 Special in 1950.
