Tetsuya Ota (太田 哲也, Ōta Tetsuya?, born 6 November 1959) is a racecar driver from Maebashi in the Gunma Prefecture, Japan. He is notable for surviving a fiery multi-car pileup he was involved in during a JGTC race at Fuji Speedway on May 3, 1998, caused by a safety car which was driven at twice the recommended speed in torrential rain during a parade lap. Ota was seriously injured and, as a result, he subsequently brought a lawsuit against the race organizers.
