The 1974 Dutch Grand Prix was held at Circuit Zandvoort on 23 June 1974. It was race 8 of 15 in both the 1974 World Championship of Drivers and the 1974 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers.

There would be a fairly exciting start to the race on Sunday, with Lauda immediately slithering into the lead, ahead of a fast starting Hailwood. Regazzoni slipped to third ahead of Patrick Depailler, up from eighth, while Hunt made a terrible start before collecting Tom Pryce in turn one, eliminating the pair of them.
