Petri Suvanto (born November 13, 1992) is a Finnish former racing driver from Seinäjoki.

After winning and placing highly in several Finnish karting championships and finishing 4th in 2008 CIK-FIA KF2 European Championships, Suvanto moved to car racing in 2010 in Formula BMW Europe for Josef Kaufmann Racing. He finished eleventh in points with a best finish of sixth at Zandvoort and Silverstone. Seeking a change of venue for 2011, Suvanto entered the American Road to Indy ladder in the U.S. F2000 National Championship.^[1] Suvanto captured four poles, five wins, and finished on the podium in all but one of the season's twelve races. He secured the championship in the first race of the final race weekend of the season over American Spencer Pigot by 47 points. By winning the championship he secured full funding to compete in the Star Mazda Championship in 2012.^[2] He signed to race with Team Pelfrey for the 2012 Star Mazda Championship season.^[3] Suvanto finished fifth in points with only a single podium finish but also only a single DNF on the season. He returned to the series, now called the Pro Mazda Championship, and Team Pelfrey for 2013, however, his season ended after four races due to lack of funding.
