The Renault Laguna is a large family car by European standards and was produced by the French manufacturer Renault. The first Laguna was launched in 1994, the second generation was launched in 2001, and the third generation was launched in October 2007.

The regular production Renault passenger models are unrelated to the concept car of the same name, the Laguna, a two-seat roadster presented by the automaker during the 1990 Paris Motor Show. The name was also previously used from 1973–1976 by Chevrolet, for a top of the line Chevelle model, the Chevrolet Chevelle Laguna.

In February 2012, Renault discontinued the Laguna, Espace, Kangoo, Modus, and Wind lines in the United Kingdom. In 2015, the Laguna was replaced by the Talisman.

With development underway from 1987, design work under Patrick Le Quement began in 1988 with a final design approval in March 1989 and design freeze by early 1990. Road testing commenced in 1991, and continued throughout 1992 and 1993. The first generation Renault Laguna was unveiled in November 1993 and launched in January 1994, as a replacement for the Renault 21, initially coming as a hatchback only. In September 1995, at the Frankfurt Motor Show, an estate version was introduced. This was known in some markets as the Laguna Sports Tourer, and replaced the 21-based Renault Savanna/Nevada. It was initially launched as a 1.8 RN/RT, 2.0RT/RXE and 3.0V6. A sports pack with deep front spoiler, rear spoiler and alloy wheels was available on 2.0 versions. This coincided with Renault's participation in European Touring car championships.
