The Mercury Park Lane was a full-sized car produced by Ford Motor Company's Mercury division. It was introduced in 1958 and became the division's flagship model, replacing the Turnpike Cruiser. The first generation (1958–1960) featured unique styling with a chrome-accented tail fin and wrap-around rear window, powered by a V8 engine. After discontinuation in 1961, it returned as a premium trim package in 1964, offering features like the retractable rear window, first seen on the Turnpike Cruiser.

In 1967, the Park Lane Brougham was introduced as the most luxurious model, featuring unique seats and ornamentation. It was replaced by the Mercury Marquis in 1969 when the latter expanded into a full model range. The Marquis took over the Park Lane's role as the division's flagship model.
