Louis José Lucien Dolhem (26 April 1944 – 16 April 1988) was a racing driver from France, and the half brother (and also 1st cousin) of Formula One driver Didier Pironi (they had the same father and their mothers were sisters).[1]

Dolhem was born in Paris. He participated in three Formula One Grands Prix, debuting on 7 July 1974, and scoring no championship points. His single grand prix start came to end when he was withdrawn by his team after his team-mate Helmuth Koinigg's fatal accident during the season-ending US Grand Prix.

Dolhem died in a plane crash at Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert near Saint-Etienne in 1988. Dolhem and Pironi, who died while offshore powerboat racing eight months earlier, are buried in the same plot at Grimaud, near St Tropez in southern France.
