Yuhi Sekiguchi (関口雄飛, Sekiguchi Yūhi; born 29 December 1987 in Nakano, Tokyo) is a Japanese racing driver. He currently competes in the GT500 class of the Super GT Series for TGR Team SARD.

Sekiguchi won the 2011 Japanese Formula 3 Championship and the 2021 Super GT GT500 class championship.

Sekiguchi made his single-seater debut in 2004 after winning a scholarship from Toyota to compete in the Japanese Formula Toyota series. He also raced part time in the Asian Formula Renault Challenge. In 2006, Sekiguchi won the Formula Toyota championship in his third season, and also won the inaugural Formula Challenge Japan championship.

Sekiguchi moved up to the All-Japan Formula Three Championship in 2007, driving for the Now Motor Sports team owned by Naohiro Fujita. He finished seventh overall in the points standings.

Sekiguchi moved to Europe in 2008 to compete in the International Formula Master championship. He finished sixteenth in the points standings, with two fourth-place finishes at Imola and Monza.

In late 2008, Sekiguchi competed in the first round of the 2008–09 GP2 Asia Series season for the David Price Racing team. His team-mate was Michael Herck. He was the fourth Japanese driver in the championship, alongside Sakon Yamamoto, Kamui Kobayashi, and Hiroki Yoshimoto. However, he was then replaced by Giacomo Ricci from the second round onwards.

Sekiguchi returned to the All-Japan Formula Three Championship for 2009, finishing fifth in the National class with AIM Sports. He moved to ThreeBond Racing and finished second in the 2010 championship with three wins, then took part in his first Macau Grand Prix. In 2011, Sekiguchi moved to B-Max Engineering and won the series championship with six victories. He then went on to finish fourth in that year's Macau Grand Prix driving for Mücke Motorsport.
