The Lancia Flavia (Tipo 815/819/820) is an executive car produced by Italian automaker Lancia from 1961 to 1971.

The Flavia was launched with a 1,488 cc engine at the 1960 Turin Motor Show and introduced in major European markets during the next twelve months. Coupé and convertible versions designed by Pininfarina and Vignale quickly followed, together with one or two low volume "specials" including a Zagato coupé. Performance improved over the next ten years as the engine displacement was progressively increased to 1,991 cc. The car remained in production until 1970 when it was updated and renamed as the Lancia 2000. The Flavia was named after Via Flavia, a Roman road leading from Trieste (Tergeste) to Dalmatia.

In 2011, Fiat announced that the Chrysler 200 convertible would be sold in Europe (LHD markets only) by Lancia under the Flavia name from early 2012.
