The Buick Electra is a full-size car that was built by Buick from 1959 to 1990.

Prior to 1959, the Roadmaster and the Limited constituted the upper echelon of Buick's lineup. For 1959, they were renamed the Electra and the Electra 225 respectively. The appearance was shared with two other Buick models, the mid-level Invicta and the entry level LeSabre.

All GM passenger vehicles received a major redesign in 1965 dominated by "Coke bottle" lines and fastback roof profiles on its coupe models. For 1965, Buick also changed its marketing strategy and offering the Electra 225 in two trim levels, base and Custom. Engine offerings were unchanged from 1964 including the standard 325hp 401 V8, and two versions of the larger 425 V8 that were rated at 340 hp with a four-barrel carburetor or 360hp with two four barrels. The three-speed Super Turbine 400 automatic transmission was standard equipment. A new body style introduced for 1965 was the thin-pillar 4-door sedan, which featured frameless window glass with a thin, chrome fixed "B" pillar.
