The '''Ford CVH engine''' is a [[Straight-four engine|straight-four]] automobile engine produced by the [[Ford Motor Company]]. The engine's name is an acronym for either ''Compound Valve-angle Hemispherical'' or ''Canted Valve Hemispherical'', where "Hemispherical" describes the shape of the combustion chamber.<ref name="efp-cvh"/><ref name="ford-enghist"/> The CVH was introduced in 1980 in the [[Ford Escort (Europe)#Third generation (1980–1986)|third generation European Escort]] and in 1981 in the [[Ford Escort (North America)#First generation (1981–1990)|first generation North American Escort]].

The CVH was produced in capacities from 1.1 to 2.0&nbsp;L, with the smallest version offered exclusively in continental Europe, and the largest only in North America. Engines for North America were built in Ford's [[Ford River Rouge Complex|Dearborn Engine]] plant, while engines for Europe and the UK were built in Ford's then-new [[Ford Bridgend Engine Plant|Bridgend Engine]] plant in [[Wales]].
