As 24 Horas de Le Mans de 1955 foi o 23º grande prêmio automobilístico das 24 Horas de Le Mans, tendo acontecido nos dias 11 e 12 de junho 1955 em Le Mans, França no autódromo francês, Circuit de la Sarthe.

A prova ficou marcada pelo mais grave acidente automobilístico em uma corrida de automóveis, considerado como o pior acidente da história do automobilismo mundial de todos os tempos com mais de 80 pessoas mortas (incluindo o piloto francês Pierre Levegh) e outras 120 feridas. As consequências da tragédia foram muitas, como o abandono das competições por parte da Mercedes e a proibição das corridas em diversos países.
