The Toyota Mark II was a mid-size sedan manufactured and marketed in Japan by Toyota between 1968 and 2004. In export markets, the Toyota marketed the vehicle as the Toyota Cressida between 1976 and 1992 across four generations as Toyota's flagship sedan. Toyota replaced the Cressida in North America with the Toyota Avalon.

Every Mark II and Cressida was manufactured at the Motomachi plant at Toyota, Aichi. The nameplate Cressida derives from the female Trojan character.

The first series, called the Toyota Corona Mark II was an all new vehicle at its introduction in 1968, that sought to offer a car that was just under Japanese government regulations concerning maximum vehicle dimensions and engine displacement, thus allowing the Crown to grow larger and more luxurious. Using the established platform of the Corona sedan but slightly larger and wider, it was exclusive to Toyopet Store locations, and offered as a competitor to the newly introduced Nissan Laurel in Japan, and the Nissan Bluebird / Datsun 510 internationally that appeared August 1967, and two years after the Mazda Luce in 1966.

At the Mark II's introduction in the late 1960s, Toyota was known as a small, economy car manufacturer. The Mark II allowed Toyota to establish itself as a more mainstream, international automaker and pursue new market opportunities. The Corona Mark II was sold as a larger companion to the Corona, while still being smaller than the Crown. The Mark II introduced a comfortable front-engine, rear-drive vehicle that was larger than older Toyotas while maintaining an affordable price and better fuel economy than vehicles with larger straight-six and V8 engines, and shared most of its technology and appearance with the larger, more prestigious Crown.
