Larry Pearson (born November 2, 1953, Spartanburg, South Carolina) is a former NASCAR driver and the son of three-time Winston Cup champion David Pearson. He won the Busch Series championship in 1986 and 1987, but struggled during his brief tenure in Winston Cup. His last ride in NASCAR came in the Busch Series in 1999, in the #00 Pontiac owned by Buckshot Racing. His Winston Cup statistics include 57 starts and 3 top tens. His Busch statistics include 259 starts, 15 wins, 78 top fives, 129 top tens, 12 poles, and 6 top ten point finishes (including the two championships).

Pearson was involved in a violent turn 2 crash with Charlie Glotzbach on March 20, 2010 during a Legends race at Bristol Motor Speedway, knocking him unconscious. Pearson regained consciousness before he was lifted out of the car on a backboard and transported by ambulance to a waiting helicopter that transported him to Bristol Regional Medical Center. Pearson suffered a fractured pelvis, fractured right hand, and compound fracture to his left ankle, and underwent surgery the night of March 20 to repair the ankle injury. Two days later after the accident, he was released from the Bristol hospital and transported to Charlotte, NC. He was admitted into Carolinas Medical Center in fair condition.
