The 10th Grand Prix de Marseille was a non-championship Formula Two motor race held on 27 April 1952 at the Parc Borély in Marseille.

Bira and Robert Manzon shared second place in a Simca Gordini Type 15 and Johnny Claes was third in another Type 15. Ascari's teammate Giuseppe Farina set fastest lap but failed to finish the race.[1][2]
