The Fiat 8V is a sports car made by Fiat from 1952 to 1954.

The engine was a V8 with a 70 degree V configuration of up to a 1996cc giving a top speed of 190 km/h (118 mph). The engine was connected to a four speed gearbox. The car had independent suspension all round and drum brakes on all four wheels.

34 of the cars had a factory produced bodywork by the Reparto Carrozzerie Speciali. Some cars had the bodywork done by other Italian coachbuilders. Carozzeria Zagato made 30 that they labelled "Elaborata Zagato". Ghia and Vignale also made bodyworks. Most were coupés, but some spyders were made as well.
