The Speedway Grand Prix are a series of stand-alone motorcycle speedway events over the course of a season used to determine the Speedway World Champion and below are a list of records[1] associated with the event since its inception in 1995. From the 2007-2019 seasons, the format was changed with points scored for every ride instead of the set points scoring system used until 2020 when a new format based on overall positions was introduced with points scored in heats only used to determine a rider's progress in a Grand Prix.

Statistics up to date as of the 2023 Speedway Grand Prix of Poland III.
