Kanato Le (Japanese: リー 海夏澄, Hepburn: Rī Kanato; born 4 July 2007) is a Japanese racing driver who competes in the FIA Formula 3 Championship for ART Grand Prix.

Le finished eighth in the 2025 Formula Regional Middle East Championship for ART. He previously competed in the 2023 F4 British Championship, finishing seventh overall, and the 2024 Formula Regional European Championship with G4 Racing.

Le had a consistent karting career where he was the most successful in IAME events in the X30 Junior class, finishing runner-up to the 2020 IAME Euro Series and won the title the next year, he also came runner-up in the 2021 IAME Winter Cup.

In 2022, Le made his foray into car racing in the 2022 Ginetta Junior Championship with Elite Motorsport. He got two wins, one pole position and five podiums, and came seventh in the championship. He was the second highest rookie, behind 2023 F4 British Championship runner-up, William Macintyre.

In late 2022, Le made his debut in the trophy round of the 2023 Formula 4 UAE Championship for Hitech Pulse-Eight, with fellow 2023 F4 British Championship competitors, James Piszcyk, William Macintyre and 2023 GB3 Championship driver Alex Dunne. He finished fifth and second in the races.

After coming up pointless in the first round, Le scored his first points at the Kuwait Motor Town and had an inconsistent season, but came home with 22 points and finished 17th place in the championship.
