Ford Taunus was a car sold by Ford in Germany. From 1952 to 1968 all the German Fords were called Taunus using the model names 12M, 15M, 17M, 20M, and 26M. The "M" is said to be for "Masterpiece". Taunus was sometimes adopted as the brand-name in export markets also, particularly where British and American Fords were also available.

The 12, 15 and 17 models had a V4 engine, later ones a straight-4 or V6 engine. The 12, 15, 17 etc. refer to the engine displacement; 1200, 1500, 1700 cc etc.

The model line is named after the Taunus mountain range in Germany.

In 1970 a new Taunus called Taunus TC was introduced, as a sedan, wagon (or Turnier) and coupe. It was very similar to the British Ford Cortina and many components were identical. The 1976 Taunus and Cortina models were identical in all but name, 'Taunus' being the name used in left hand drive (LHD) markets, and 'Cortina' in right hand drive ones, although the Cortina name was used in LHD South KoreaThe Republic of Korea (ROK; Korean: Daehan Minguk ( Hangul: ; Hanja: )), commonly known as South Korea is a country in East Asia, covering the southern half of the Korean peninsula.
