Fiat Coup, internally designated as the Type 175, was a two-door, four-seat coup manufactured and marketed by Fiat between 1993 and 2000 across a single generation. The Coup was introduced at Bologna Motor Show in December 1993 and is noted for its distinctive, angular exterior design by Chris Bangle later noted for his work at BMW at Centro Stile Fiat. Its interior was designed by Pininfarina.

On its launch in January 1994, the Coup was available with a four-cylinder, 2.0 L 16V engine, in both turbo (190 PS) and normally aspirated (139 PS) versions. Both engines were later versions of Fiat's twin-cam design and inherited from the Lancia Delta Integrale, winner of the World Rally Championship a record six times. Along with the new engines Fiat also made some minor design changes including the front grill, steering wheel, the door panel now included leather, the interior center console was redesigned and the digital clock was replaced with an analog one.
