The '''Ford Pinto engine''' was the unofficial name for a [[straight-4|four-cylinder]] [[internal combustion engine]] built by [[Ford Europe]]. In Ford sales literature, it was referred to as the '''EAO''' or '''OHC''' engine and because it was designed to the metric system, it was sometimes called the "metric engine". The internal Ford codename for the unit was the '''T88-series''' engine. European Ford service literature refers to it as the '''Taunus In-Line''' engine (hence the '''TL''' codenames). In North America it was known as the '''Lima In-Line''' ('''LL'''), or simply the '''Lima engine''' due to its being manufactured at [[Lima Engine]] in [[Lima, Ohio]].

It was used in many European Ford [[automobile|cars]] and was exported to the [[United States]] to be used in the [[Ford Pinto]], a successful [[subcompact car]] of the 1970s, hence the name which is used most often for the unit. In Britain, it is commonly used in many [[kit car]]s and [[hot rods]], especially in the 2-litre size.
