Terry Borcheller (born March 22, 1966, in Hialeah, Florida) is an American professional racing driver who races in the Grand American Road Racing Association Rolex Sports Car Series and American Le Mans Series.

As a teenager, Borcheller was the World Karting Association national champion in 1983. He began his professional career in the Barber Saab Pro Series in 1991. In 1998, he won the IMSA Speedvision cup in the GS class and the SPEED World Challenge T-1 class championship in a Saleen Mustang. In 2000, he captured the Rolex Sports Car Series GTO class championship in a Saleen Mustang. The following year, he drove a Saleen S7-R in the American Le Mans Series and won the GTS class championship. The following year, he returned to the Rolex series and captured SRP II class honors in a Lola-Nissan. Following the realignment of that series class structure the following year, Borcheller was the champion of that series top class, Daytona Prototype in a Chevrolet powered Doran. The following year, he won the 24 Hours of Daytona with teammates Christian Fittipaldi, Forest Barber, and Andy Pilgrim in a Pontiac powered Doran and finished ninth in the championship. He stayed with the Doran team through the 2006 season as the team began to fall behind the teams using the more heavily developed and popular Riley and Crawford chassis.

In 2007, Borcheller competed in a handful of races in various levels of Grand Am competition including DP, GT, and Koni Challenge as well as returning to ALMS to race for Team Trans Sport in 11 races in their GT2 class Porsche 911. In 2008, he drove in the 24 Hours of Daytona in the Brumos Porsche then raced full-time in the ALMS in the Bell Motorsports GT1 class Aston Martin DBR9 as well as racing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the Team Modena DBR9. He also finished out the Rolex Sports Car Series season in the Autohaus Motorsports GT class Pontiac GXP.R

Borcheller has raced at Le Mans five times with a best finish of third in class in 2001 with the Saleen S7-R.

Borcheller is an avid participant in Christian motorsports ministries such as Racin' for Jesus. He and his family currently reside in Vero Beach, Florida.
