Rick Miaskiewicz (born March 22, 1953) is a former American race car driver from Pittsburgh. He won the Can-Am championship in 1985, the series' next to last year of operations, and then moved to the CART series for 1986. He competed in five races in a Cosworth-powered March chassis. He returned the following year with a 1986 March and competed in four more races. His best CART finish was an 11th place at Cleveland in 1986, one of the best finishes for any rookie that season.
