The Triumph Mayflower is a small, upscale family car built from 1949 until 1953 by the British Standard Motor Company and sold by their Triumph Motor Company subsidiary. It has a 1+14-litre engine and was noted for its razor-edge styling. It was announced at the October 1949 British International Motor Show, but deliveries did not commence until the middle of 1950.

One of the nine prototype Triumph Mayflowers, "X488", was factory tested 5000 miles across Europe in 1950, where they used the famous rooftop test track of Impéria Automobiles in Belgium.

The Mayflower's "upscale small car" position did not find a ready market, and sales did not meet Standard's expectations. The company's next small car, the Standard Eight of 1953, was a basic 0.8-litre economy car.
