The Peugeot 404 was a mid-sized automobile produced by the French manufacturer Peugeot from 1960 to 1988.

The 404 was designed by Pininfarina and manufactured in several body styles: sedan (saloon), wagon (estate) and pickup. A convertible was launched in 1961 and in 1962, a coupé version appeared.

The 404 was, and in some countries is still, popular as a taxi cab due to its reputation for robustness. A 1.9 L diesel engine was also available, as carried over to the Peugeot 504. The 1.6 L petrol engine was also available with Kugelfischer mechanical fuel-injection, later used on the Peugeot 504. A ZF 3-speed automatic transmission was also available. Manual transmissions used a column-mounted shifter.

The 404 appears prominently in the 2006 film Catch a Fire, set in South Africa.

The French production run ended in 1975 after a total of 1,847,568 units were produced.

The 404 proved very popular in developing nations, which continued to build the vehicle under license so production continued until 1988 in non-European markets, with a total combined run of 2,885,374 units.
