The {{nihongo|Daihatsu Tanto|ダイハツ・タント|Daihatsu Tanto|lead=yes}} is a kei car manufactured by the Japanese carmaker Daihatsu. It was introduced at the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show as a vehicle based on the Move's "tall" body style, and followed by the Tanto Custom in July 2005.

The name "Tanto" is derived from Italian, Spanish and Portuguese word for "so much" or "a lot".{{Cite web|title=Data Book 2020|url=https://www.daihatsu.com/company/dataook2020_e.pdf|website=Daihatsu|access-date=13 August 2020|archive-date=22 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210222024348/https://www.daihatsu.com/company/dataook2020_e.pdf|url-status=dead}}

The first-generation Tanto went on sale on 27 November 2003. The grade levels consisted of L, X and X Limited for naturally aspirated engine option, and R and RS for turbocharged engine option. The first generation Tanto was only available with conventional automatic transmissions, with four speeds in most models. Naturally aspirated, four-wheel drive Tantos received a three-speed automatic instead.

The Tanto Custom was added in July 2005, aimed at younger buyers and with a more assertive look. The redesigned headlights were linked by a translucent grille garnish; this look was continued at the rear, where the taillights were clear and extended all the way across the car.{{cite web | url = http://response.jp/issue/2005/0630/article72087_1.html | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20050703015558/http://response.jp/issue/2005/0630/article72087_1.html | archivedate = 2005-07-03 | title = ダイハツタントにスポーティな「カスタム」を設定 | trans-title = Daihatsu Tanto now available in sporty "Custom" model | language = ja | date = 2005-06-30 | work = Response | publisher = IRI Commerce and Technology Inc. }} The Tanto Custom grade levels consisted of L and X for the naturally aspirated engine, and RS for the turbocharged option. The Custom RS also came standard with 15-inch alloy wheels and a leather-wrapped, Momo steering wheel.

The second-generation Tanto went on sale on 17 December 2007. Among the main features of this generation is an ordinary side-hinged rear door on the right and a sliding door without an intermediate pillar (called "Miracle Open Door" by Daihatsu) on the left.

In June 2011, the naturally aspirated engines were fitted with Daihatsu's "Eco Idle" start-stop system developed for the Mira e:S, including other minor updates to the KF engine, which made the car eligible for additional tax breaks. From May 2012 the Eco Idle system was also fitted to the turbocharged Custom RS model. In September 2013, the second generation was discontinued in favor of the succeeding generation which went on sale the following month.

The third-generation Tanto went on sale on 3 October 2013. This generation used the sliding door on both sides. The car is also sold by Subaru as the {{nihongo|Subaru Chiffon|スバル・シフォン|Subaru Shifon|lead=yes}} since December 2016 through an OEM agreement.

The Tanto underwent a very light facelift in December 2015; the regular Tanto only received interior upgrades, including water-repellant fabric, while the Custom received a reworked grille and front bumper, and a larger chrome garnish on the rear gate.
