Pablo Pérez Companc, born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on December 11, 1982, is an auto racing driver.

Pablo signed with Chip Ganassi Racing for 2007 in the Indy Pro Series. In his first race for the team at Homestead-Miami Speedway he made contact with Sean Guthrie's car on lap 47. His car launched over Guthrie and into the catch fence where the footbox of his car was sheared off, resulting in what an observer termed as "gruesome" injuries to his feet and legs.[1]

He underwent extensive surgery on both legs below the knees. He was able to attend activities at Indy in May, 2007, albeit confined to a wheel chair. He plans on returning to racing when fully recovered.

He is the younger brother of Ford World Rally Championship rally driver, Luís Pérez Companc.
