The Toyota NZ engine family is a straight-4 piston engine series. The NZ series uses aluminium open deck engine blocks and DOHC cylinder heads. It also uses sequential multi-point fuel injection, and has 4 valves per cylinder with VVT-i.

The engines are produced by Toyota's Kamigo Plant in Toyota, Aichi, Japan; by Siam Toyota Manufacturing in Chonburi, Thailand (1NZ-FE for Yaris and Vios); and by Indus Motor Company in Karachi, Pakistan (2NZ-FE for Corolla).

From the second half of 2003, the valve train mechanism of the Japanese market 1NZ-FE engine was changed from a direct acting type to a indirect type with roller rocker arms and hydraulic lash adjuster (HLA). The post-2006 1NZ-FE Turbo and LPG-hybrid 1NZ-FXP engines are also using this valve train mechanism.
