The Chrysler Town & Country was a wagon manufactured by Chrysler from 1940-1942 and from 1945-1988 (during World War II, a three-model-year hiatus, from 1943 to 1945, was starkly imposed upon by the United States Federal Government until the end of World War II during calendar year 1945). The Town & Country was also sold as a sedan, coupe and as a convertible from 1947-1950 and from 1983–1986. 1988 was the last model year for the Chrysler Town & Country wagon, after that and partly during one model year (1989), the Town & Country nameplate was off the market until the 1990 model year run when Chrysler re-introduced the Town & Country nameplate as a rebadged variant Chrysler Town & Country minivan.

Chrysler's Town & Country wagon was distinguished by woodgrain paneling on the body sides and tailgate, a feature also associated with competitive wagons such as the AMC Ambassador, Buick Estate, Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, Ford Country Squire, and the Mercury Colony Park.

Chrysler re-introduced the Town & Country nameplate in calendar year 1989 as a luxury rebadged variant of the Dodge Grand Caravan/Plymouth Grand Voyager minivan for the 1990 model year and continued to sell this incarnation of the Chrysler Town & Country until the end of the 2016 model year when Chrysler reintroduced the Pacifica nameplate for their minivan in calendar year 2016 for the 2017 model year run.
