Johor Circuit, motorsport racing track in Pasir Gudang, Johor, Malaysia

Johor Circuit is a closed race track in Pasir Gudang, Johor, Malaysia, opened in 1986 and shut in 2017. A low wall along the front is painted in black and orange panels lettered "JOHOR CIRCUIT"; behind it a grassy embankment rises to a stepped concrete grandstand, with a tall red sign frame and a long open-sided timber building alongside.

Construction of Johor Circuit began in 1985 and it was officially opened in 1986 by Sultan Iskandar. It hosted the Malaysian motorcycle Grand Prix in 1998, where Mick Doohan won the 500cc class, Tetsuya Harada the 250cc and Noboru Ueda the 125cc. The Superbike World Championship raced there in 1992 and 1993, and the circuit closed in 2017 after the Asia Road Racing Championship.

The circuit's name appears in large capitals on the black-and-orange panels of the low front wall, and the same name is used in Malay as Litar Johor. Its 1998 Malaysian motorcycle Grand Prix is remembered for wins by Mick Doohan in 500cc, Tetsuya Harada in 250cc and Noboru Ueda in 125cc. The venue also hosted rounds of the Superbike World Championship in 1992 and 1993.

The circuit closed in 2017 after the Asia Road Racing Championship races, so there are no scheduled events. The site is in Pasir Gudang, Johor, near the Singapore border. The photograph shows a low wall with black and orange panels reading "JOHOR CIRCUIT", a grassy embankment, a stepped concrete grandstand, a tall red metal frame with a dark sign, and a long open-sided timber building.

The 1998 Malaysian motorcycle Grand Prix at Johor Circuit was the only world championship round held there: Mick Doohan won the 500cc race, Tetsuya Harada the 250cc and Noboru Ueda the 125cc. The following year the Malaysian GP moved to Sepang.
