The Ford Mondeo is a Mid-size/large (D-segment) car that was manufactured and marketed by Ford across five generations of models from 1993 to 2022. As Ford self-declared world car, the Mondeo was intended to consolidate the European Sierra, the Telstar in Asia and Australia, and the Tempo/Mercury Topaz in North America. The first two generations used the CDW27 platform, the third-generation model used the EUCD platform, the fourth-generation used the CD4 platform, and the fifth-generation used the C2 platform.

Ford announced in March 2021 that it would discontinue Mondeo production in Europe and Argentina with no direct successor. Production of the Mondeo ended in Europe in March 2022.

The Mondeo nameplate derives from the Latin word mundus, meaning "world".
