The Ford Edge is a crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by the Ford Motor Company introduced for the 2007 model year as the first mid-size CUV marketed by Ford in North America; now in its third generation. Deriving its name from a trim package of the Ford Ranger, the Ford Edge is positioned between the Ford Escape and the Ford Explorer within the Ford product line.
Production of the North American Edge ended in April 2024,{{Cite web |last=Foote |first=Brett |date=May 7, 2024 |title=This Is The Last North American Ford Edge Ever Produced |url=https://fordauthority.com/2024/05/this-is-the-last-north-american-ford-edge-ever-produced/ |access-date=November 18, 2024 |website=Ford Authority}} with the third generation Edge (dubbed the Edge L), launched in 2023, being produced and sold exclusively in China.
Sharing its underpinnings with the Ford Fusion sedan, Ford also marketed a rebadged variant as the Lincoln MKX (since 2019, the Lincoln Nautilus). The second generation is also marketed by Ford of Europe, positioned between the Kuga (Escape) and the Explorer PHEV.
Manufacturing of the first two generations took place at Oakville Assembly (Oakville, Ontario) alongside the Nautilus.

For 2015, the Ford Edge was redesigned with a new Taurus and Explorer-like grille, new headlights, LED combination taillights, increased interior room, and a rear-view camera. This generation of the Edge comes with a standard EcoBoost engine, the all-new 2.0 L (only the displacement and bore-center spacing carry over), which has a new twin-scroll turbo to boost low-end torque figures. Unlike the previous 2.0 L EcoBoost, the 2015 generation has a towing capacity of 3500 lb and is available with all-wheel drive. The midspecification engine is a 3.5 L V6, with slightly reduced power output. The highest engine in the range, powering Sport models, is the new 2.7 L twin-turbo EcoBoost V6.
For the first time, Ford marketed the Edge in European markets (as part of the company's "One Ford" strategy); it sits above the Ford Kuga. Gasoline engines are not sold in Europe; instead, this market receives either of two turbo-charged Duratorq diesel engines as used in other Ford Europe products such as the Ford Mondeo. Both engines are mated to an all-wheel drive system as standard; no option for two-wheel drive is available. The two engines are rated at 180 hp and 210 hp. Which output the customer receives is entirely dependent on the transmission choice, with a six-speed manual as standard mated to the 180-hp unit. A six-speed PowerShift automatic dual-clutch transmission option was available, mated to the 210-hp unit.
Ford marketed the Edge in Europe as a premium large crossover with only high-end trims and diesel engines at prices 50% higher than in North America. Due to low sales, the model was limited in 2019 to only a few countries, with the last stock sold in early 2021.{{cite web|url=https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/ford-limits-sales-edge-europe|title=Ford limits sales of Edge in Europe|date=2019-06-05|publisher=autonews.com}}

The Edge (alongside the Lincoln MKX) received a mid-cycle facelift for 2019, with a revised front grille, aluminum-alloy wheel options, exterior and interior color combinations, as well as a 12-speaker B&O Play surround-sound system replacing the Sony system. All models received a new Ford 8F35 eight-speed automatic transmission (featuring automatic stop-start technology), which also allowed the base 2.0 L EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine to gain a {{convert|5|hp|adj=on}} boost, and improved EPA fuel economy.

The Edge in China was facelifted with the rest of the world in 2019 while receiving another facelift for the 2021 model year exclusively for the Chinese three-row Edge called the Ford Edge Plus.
