Rahal Letterman Racing (RLR) is an auto racing team that currently has a three car livery in the Indy Racing League. It is co-owned by 1986 Indianapolis 500 winner Bobby Rahal and television talk show host and comedian David Letterman.

As of 2005, RLR's three drivers were Buddy Rice, who won the 2004 Indianapolis 500 while driving for the team, Vitor Meira, who finished second in the 2005 Indianapolis 500, Danica Patrick, who finished fourth in the 2005 Indianapolis 500, and had the highest finish of any woman driver (3 previous) in the history of the Indianapolis 500, and Paul Dana, who died in a practice round accident in 2006.

Also in the 2005 Indianapolis 500, former team member Kenny Bräck, who was replaced by Rice when he suffered a serious injury in 2003, replaced Rice when he was injured in pre-race practice. Rice was able to recover in time to race in the next Indy Racing League race.

When the team was formed in 1992, it was known as Rahal-Hogan Racing. It changed its name to Team Rahal when then-co-owner Carl Hogan left, and it changed its name again to Rahal Letterman Racing in May 2004.

RLR driver Paul Dana died in a two-car crash Sunday, March 26, 2006 during the warmup for the IRL IndyCar Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
