Ora Frederic Haibe (September 27, 1887 – December 10, 1970) was an American racing driver.[1][2]

Haibe made his first Indianapolis 500 start in 1916, driving a car constructed by auto dealer and driver Swan Ostewig. Ostewig relieved Haibe mid-way through the race after Haibe complained about handling, and finished in 10th place.[3]

Haibe had a best finish of fifth at the Indianapolis 500, in 1921 and 1922, in a Sunbeam and a Duesenberg respectively. He finished a best of fourth in AAA Championship car races; at Phoenix in 1915, and Uniontown in 1917.[4]
