The 1971 German Grand Prix was a Formula One race held at Nürburgring on 1 August 1971.
The race returned to the Nürburgring after a year at the Hockenheimring after the safety was improved on the track. The race distance was shortened to 12 laps. Notable driver changes included Vic Elford, who replaced the late Pedro Rodríguez. Stewart took pole and dominated the race, leading home a Tyrrell 1-2. Clay Regazzoni finished third with Andretti, Peterson and Tim Schenken rounding out the points.
