# 24 uur van Le Mans 1970

De 24 uur van Le Mans 1970 was de 38e editie van deze endurancerace. De race werd verreden op 13 en 14 juni 1970 op het Circuit de la Sarthe nabij Le Mans, Frankrijk.
De race werd gewonnen door de Porsche Konstruktionen - Salzburg #23 van Hans Herrmann en Richard Attwood, die allebei hun enige Le Mans-zege behaalden. De P 3.0-klasse werd gewonnen door de Martini International Racing Team #27 van Helmut Marko en Rudi Lins. De GT 2.0-klasse werd gewonnen door de Établissements Sonauto #40 van Claude Ballot-Léna en Guy Chasseuil. De GT 2.5-klasse werd gewonnen door de Écurie Luxembourg #47 van Nicolas Koob en Erwin Kremer.
Deze race vormde de basis voor de Steve McQueen-film Le Mans, die in 1971 in de bioscopen te zien was. Veel beeldmateriaal kwam rechtstreeks vanuit de race, aangezien de #29 Solar Productions een filmcamera op de auto gemonteerd had gekregen.

## Race

Winnaars in hun klasse zijn vetgedrukt. Auto's die minder dan 70% van de afstand van de winnaar van hun klasse hadden afgelegd werden niet geklasseerd. De Autodelta SpA #35 werd gediskwalificeerd omdat deze hulp van buitenaf ontving.
