The Renault Caravelle is a sports car made by Renault between 1958 and 1968. Outside of North America and Britain it was, until 1962, marketed as the Renault Floride.

The car was offered as a 2+2 coupe, a 2+2 cabriolet and as a convertible, the latter being a cabriolet with a removable hardtop. At launch the Floride came with an 845cc four-cylinder water-cooled engine mounted at the back of the car, like the Dauphine on which it was based.

Although designed by Frua of Italy, the car's body was constructed locally, by the automobile body maker Chausson, known in France as the producer of bus bodies. Production started slowly, with only 3,777 cars completed in 1959. However, in 1960, following important suspension upgrades, Renault produced 36,156 Florides.

In total, 117,000 were produced.
