The Mini Paceman is a three-door subcompact crossover SUV sold and manufactured by BMW under the Mini brand. It is the three-door counterpart of the R60 Mini Countryman. It was introduced as the Paceman Concept at the 2011 North American International Auto Show. The production model debuted in September 2012.{{cite web|url=http://www.autoblog.com/2012/09/27/2013-mini-paceman-paris-2012/|title=2013 Mini Paceman is a good answer to a question nobody asked|author=Steven J Ewing|date=27 September 2012|work=Autoblog.com|publisher=AOL|accessdate=27 January 2013}}

Like the Countryman, the Paceman was offered with a choice of two or four-wheel drive (known as ALL4), and with 1.6-litre petrol or diesel and 2.0-litre diesel inline four engines in various states of tune. Unlike most of the Mini range, the Paceman was not manufactured in the UK but in Graz, Austria, by Magna Steyr, along with the Countryman.

BMW ended production of the Paceman in late 2016 as BMW executives felt it was positioned too close to the Countryman in Mini’s line-up.{{cite web|url=https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/mini-paceman-production-finish-end-2016|title=Mini Paceman production to finish by the end of 2016|website=Autocar|date=16 September 2016|accessdate=4 January 2021}}{{cite web|url=https://www.motoringfile.com/2016/10/10/mini-paceman-end-production-year/|title=The MINI Paceman To End Production This Year|website=motoringfile.com|author=Gabriel Bridger|date=10 October 2016|accessdate=4 January 2021}}
