Len Sutton (August 9, 1925 - ) is a former NASCAR driver from Portland, OR. He competed in five Nextel Cup Series events in his career.

Sutton's debut came in 1956, when he competed at his home track of Portland. Starting 9th in the field of nineteen, Sutton completed all but eight laps and had a solid 11th place finish.

However, Sutton's final four races all came in the 1963 season, when he started the year off at Riverside. His future looked bright with a 4th place qualifying effort, but an early mechanical issue derailed him to 40th. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a foreshadow of the rest of his season. He failed to finish any of his races that year, earning just a best finish of 30th at Daytona. On the bright side, he did make the Daytona 500, but finished a disappointing 31st there.
