The Ford Elite is a personal luxury car produced for a single generation, from February 1974 to 1976, using the name Gran Torino Elite for its first model year only then simplified to just Elite for the following two model years, it was initially the top-of-the-line model of the Torino series.

Based on the Torino, the mid-size two-door coupe was intended to be a junior model to the Thunderbird designed to compete with the increasingly popular intermediate personal luxury class that included such vehicles as the Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Pontiac Grand Prix, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, Buick Regal, Dodge Charger, Chrysler Cordoba and Mercury Cougar.

The Elite was a low investment design derived from the concurrent Mercury Cougar XR-7 with a mild front end restyling to resemble the Thunderbird with single round headlamps, eggcrate grille, different taillamps with a centre reflector, unique twin opera windows and large colour-keyed vinyl mouldings placed higher on the bodysides. The interiors were identical save for upholstery styles and minor trim.

The Elite name was dropped after 1976 as the Ford mid-size range was restructured for the 1977 model year, which Thunderbird was dramatically reduced in size and price for 1977 by moving its nameplate to the Torino-based LTD II platform. In effect, the Elite continued restyled and marketed under the more-recognized Thunderbird name
