The Jaguar S-Type is an car made from 1963 to 1968. It was a technically more sophisticated development of the Jaguar Mark 2.

In 1961 Jaguar launched two new models. The full size Jaguar Mark X saloon, and the Jaguar E-Type sports car. Both cars used the same 3.8 Litre XJ engine and had independent rear suspension. It was assumed that the Mark 2 would need updating with similar features if it was to retain its place in the market so work began on developing the S-Type as soon as development work was finished on the Mark X. By the time of the S-Type's release in 1963, the Mark 2 remained an unexpectedly strong seller despite its age.

The S-Type was given extended rear bodywork similar to that on the Mark X, which also gave it a much larger boot than the Mark 2. Relatively minor changes were made to the frontal styling of the car in an attempt to balance the longer rear styling, but the overall effect at the front was still very rounded. The only change made to the centre section was to flatten and extend the rear roofline, which made the car look larger and helped to give rear seat passengers slightly more headroom.
