The Ford E-Series, also known as the Ford Econoline in Mexico and Ford Club Wagon, is a line of full-size front engined rear wheel drive vans (both cargo and passenger) and truck chassis from the Ford Motor Company.

Based on the Ford Falcon, the Econoline was introduced in 1961. Sized roughly to compete with the Chevrolet Corvair 95 (Greenbrier Sportswagon) and Volkswagen Type 2 it was originally offered as a cargo van, an eight-passenger van with three rows of seats (which carried the Ford Falcon name) and as a pickup truck. A 165 lb (75 kg) counterweight was fitted over the rear wheels to balance the front-heavy vehicle; this was sometimes removed by later owners.

For the new model in 1969 it shed its Falcon roots and became a heavier-duty vehicle, sharing many of its underpinnings with the F-Series full-size pickups. To build a heavier-duty chassis, the mid-engine forward-control layout was abandoned in favor of a front-engine layout with the axle placed forward and it gained a conventional hood for engine access.
