The Volvo S80 is a large car produced by Volvo since 1998 as the replacement for the rear-wheel drive Volvo 960/S90 sedan. The engine of every S80 has been built at the Torslanda Plant (Torslandaverken) in Gothenburg, Sweden. Unlike almost all other Volvo models, it did not have a station wagon version for its first generation. Now, the third generation V70 wagon is marketed as the estate version for the second generation S80 sedan.

Upon its debut it was notable for being one of the first Volvos to depart from the company's boxy styling idiom that dated to the inception of the Volvo 140 Series. The S80's styling, with its pronounced beltline and tail light configuration has been adopted throughout the Volvo line.

The first generation Volvo S80 had one of the world's highest crash test ratings in the world for over 5 years. The second generation Volvo S80 in June of 2007 scored the highest "good" rating in the IIHS crash test performance for frontal impacts.
