Tony Rutter (born September 24, 1941) was a Grand Prix motorcycle road racer who won seven Isle of Man TT Races between 1973 and 1985.[1][2] He also won four Formula Two World Championships, and was the British Motorcycle Champion in the 350cc class in 1971, on a Yamaha and the 250cc class in 1973 again on a Yamaha.[3] Rutter was also a nine-time winner of the North West 200 race held in Northern Ireland.

His career was effectively ended by a very bad accident in Montjuic Mountain Circuit, Barcelona (Spain) in 1985 – however even after this incident he recovered and continued to ride in the TT until 1991.

He is the father of current British Superbike rider Michael Rutter.
