The '''Fender Cyclone''' denotes a series of [[electric guitar]]s made by [[Fender Musical Instruments Corporation|Fender]]. Introduced in late 1997, the Cyclone body is similarly styled to the [[Fender Mustang|Mustang]], but it is a quarter of an inch thicker than the body of a Mustang and is made of [[Populus|poplar]], whereas contemporary Mustang reissues were made of [[basswood]].

In July 2002, the Cyclone II was introduced as the successor to the Fender Cyclone and featured cosmetic changes such as the Mustang racing stripe as well as 3 vintage single-coil pickups and switching borrowed from the [[Fender Jaguar]]. {{As of|2006}} the range included the original Cyclone, the Cyclone HH with two humbuckers, and the Cyclone II with three MIA Jaguar pickups controlled by on-off switches in place of the selector switch. As of January 2007, all original Cyclone variants had been discontinued by Fender. In 2020, Fender's budget brand [[Squier]] reissued the Cyclone II as part of its Paranormal Series. The 2020 model was available in Shell Pink or Daphne Blue, with an [[Indian Laurel]] fingerboard. The 2021 model was available in Candy Apple Red and Pearl. It came with Squier Strat pickups instead of the original Jaguar pickups. <ref name=":0">{{cite web |last1=Astley-Brown |first1=Michael |title=Squier revives forgotten Fender classics with the Paranormal Series |url=https://www.guitarworld.com/news/squier-revives-forgotten-fender-classics-with-the-paranormal-series |website=Guitar World |publisher=Future plc |access-date=26 July 2020}}</ref> In 2024, Fender Japan re-issued the Cyclone as a domestic only limited edition model.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |author1=Matt Owen |date=2024-05-24 |title="A unique look and function": Fender Japan has revived the cult classic Cyclone – and it might be the most desirable Fender offset of the year |url=https://www.guitarworld.com/news/fender-japan-cyclone-2024 |access-date=2024-05-26 |website=guitarworld |language=en}}</ref>
