The Tatra 75 is a Czechoslovak mid-size car that Tatra introduced in 1933 as the successor to the Tatra 54 and was Tatra's last front-engined car.

The front-mounted 1,688 cc air-cooled OHV air-cooled boxer engine produces {{cvt|30|PS|kW|0}}.{{sfn|Tuček|2017|p=160}} This gives a top speed of {{cvt|90|km/h|mph}} and fuel consumption of 12 or 13 litres per {{cvt|100|km|mi}}.{{sfn|Tuček|2017|p=162}}

Attention was paid to weight reduction, with light alloy used for the cylinder head castings. In common with other Tatras of this time, the 75 had four-speed transmission and rear-wheel drive.

The car was offered with a range of bodies including two- and four-door sedans and convertibles and a six-seat limousine with a longer wheelbase. In its nine-year production run 4,501 Tatra 75s were built. After the Second World War, in 1947, the model was belatedly replaced with the radically different Tatra 600.
