The '''Austin Montego''' is a British [[family car]] that was produced by [[British Leyland]] from 1984 until 1988, and then by [[Rover Group]] from 1988 until 1995. The Montego was the replacement for both the [[rear-wheel drive]] [[Morris Ital]] and the [[front-wheel drive]] [[Austin Ambassador]] ranges to give British Leyland an all-new competitor for the [[Ford Sierra]] and [[Vauxhall Cavalier]].

On its launch, it was sold as both an Austin and an [[MG cars|MG]]. It was the last car to be launched under the Austin marque, and from 1988 it was sold without a marque, following the phasing out of the Austin name.
