The Ford Pygmy is one of two pilot vehicles submitted by Ford in response to the U.S. Army's requirement for a "light reconnaissance and command car" during the military build-up prior to World War II, which later became better known as the World War II jeep.

The Pygmy is the oldest known survivor of the original 14-ton pilot vehicles tested by the Army, delivered to them six days before the oldest surviving competitor.
