The 2005 Speedway Grand Prix Qualification or GP Challenge was a series of motorcycle speedway meetings used to determine the 2 riders that would qualify for the 2005 Speedway Grand Prix to join the other 8 riders that finished in the leading positions from the 2004 Speedway Grand Prix and 6 seeded riders.[1]

The system introduced the previous year, that of four quarter finals and two semi-finals was retained but due to the main Grand Prix being reduced from 24 riders to 16 only 2 riders would qualify through the GP Challenge.[2]

Antonio Lindbäck won the GP Challenge.[3]
