Fiat 1200 was the name of three different models from Fiat, all based on the Fiat 1100 mechanicals. The first two were launched in 1957 to replace the top versions of the 1100 range.

- 1200 Granluce (1957–1961): a luxury four‑door small family saloon with a 1221 cc inline‑four petrol engine producing about 55 PS. It introduced a new, larger greenhouse with a wider windshield, bigger side windows and a rear panoramic window. The car had distinctive chrome trim and a two-tone look. About 400,000 were built before the model was replaced by the larger Fiat 1300 in 1961. The Granluce body later influenced other 1100 variants, and its shell found use in some Indian Fiat models.

- 1200 Spyder / 1200 TV Trasformabile (1957–1959): a two‑seat roadster based on the 1100 TV Trasformabile but using the 1200 engine. It featured mild exterior updates, a strip speedometer inside, and swiveling seats for easier entry and exit. In 1959 this Spider was replaced by the 1200 Cabriolet.

- 1200 Cabriolet (1959–1966): a Pininfarina‑designed open‑top car, built on the 1200 idea but offered with more powerful engines later, including 1500 and 1600 cc options, and a coupé variant was also available. The Cabriolet remained in production after the Spider was discontinued, with final versions lasting until 1966.
