Sherman Utsman (born April 15, 1932 in Bluff City, Tennessee) is a retired NASCAR Grand National driver.

From the age of 24 to the age of 31, Sherman has competed in 3,558.9 miles (5,727.5 km) and 5304 laps of racing. Most of his rides were with the 1962 Ford Galaxie bearing the #6 number. Sherman is related to fellow drivers Dub, John, Larry, and Layman Utsman (who are all retired from NASCAR competition). Sherman's only top five finish came at the 1962 Confederate 200 which took place on August 3, 1962 at the Boyd Speedway in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Utsman was also a NASCAR owner/driver with him having legal ownership of a stock car vehicle in three different races. He drove the vehicle himself twice and Joe Weatherly drove one of his vehicles at an untitled race at Speedway Park in Jacksonville, Florida on December 1, 1963.
