The Wolf WD1, also known as the Wolf-Dallara WD1, was a sports prototype race car, designed, developed, and built by British-Canadian constructor, Walter Wolf Racing, in partnership with Italian manufacturer, constructor, and design company, Dallara, for the revived Can-Am series, in 1977. It was driven by Chris Amon and Gilles Villeneuve. Its best result was a 3rd-place podium finish, at Road America in 1977; being driven by Villeneuve. As with most Can-Am cars of the time, it was powered by the commonly used 5.0 L (310 cu in) Chevrolet small-block engine.

After competing in the Can-Am series, it was later converted to an open-wheel Formula 3 car in 1978, and was raced by Bobby Rahal in the European F3 series in 1978, and was powered by a naturally-aspirated 2.0 L (120 cu in) Novamotor 2T-G four-cylinder engine, producing 168 hp (125 kW), and 233 N⋅m (172 lb⋅ft) of torque.
