Nathan Pretty is an Australian racecar driver.

He first rose to prominence racing AUSCAR superspeedway sedans becoming rookie of the year in his initial season. His family based race team built a V8 Supercar Commodore in 1998 racing with his sister Nicole at the 1998 FAI 1000. After racing as a privateer Pretty increasing gained more prestigious drivers with other V8 Supercar teams and was a favourite of the factory supported teams, Holden Racing Team and K-mart Racing Team. Pretty was part of the Garry Rogers Motorsport team that won the 2002 Bathurst 24 Hour. Out of that win Pretty gained a full-time drive in 2003 in the 24 Hour Holden Monaro in the Australian Nations Cup Championship. Third in his first year and runners up to Paul Stokell in 2004, he scored Holden's best results in the series when it collapsed at the end of 2004. After 2005 largely on the sidelines Pretty raced for Robert Smith's team in the 2006 Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series. Kelly spent three years at Perkins Engineering racing at Bathurst and racing the teams Commodore station wagon at the Bathurst 12 Hour.
