The Rover P5 is a series of large saloon and coupé cars that were produced by Rover from 1958 until 1973. The models were marketed under the names Rover 3 Litre, Rover 3.5 Litre and Rover 3½ Litre.

The P5 was a larger car than the P4 which in some respects it replaced. 69.141 examples were built.

It was the first Rover car with unitary bodywork, styled by David Bache. This model combined elegance with dignity, and had a traditionally well-appointed interior. Later developments of the P5 included the more rakish coupe with a lowered roof line, and the 3.5 litre V8 model of 1967 which for the first time used an all-aluminium V8 engine design purchased from the Buick Motor Division of General Motors Corporation in the United States.

The 3- and 3.5-litre models became favourites for transport of dignitaries, including British Prime Ministers from Harold Wilson to Margaret Thatcher. The Queen also used several Rover P5 cars for her private motoring.

The final iteration of the P5 appeared in September 1967 as the P5B. The B stands for Buick, the engine's originator.

The Buick-designed V8 produced 160 PS at 5200 rpm and 280 N⋅m of torque at 2600 rpm. The greater power of the engine, along with its lower weight, provided improved performance as well as fuel economy.

The P5B existed as both the 4-door coupé and saloon body style until end of production. Production ended in 1973, by when 9099 coupés and 11501 saloons had been built.
