The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL (chassis code W 198) is a two-seat sports car that was produced by Mercedes-Benz as a gullwinged coupe (1954–1957) and roadster (1957–1963). It was based on the company's 1952 racer, the W194, with mechanical direct fuel-injection which boosted power almost 50% on its 3-litre overhead camshaft straight-6 engine. Capable of reaching a top speed of up to 263 km/h (163 mph), it was both a sports car racing champion and the fastest production car of its time.

Max Hoffman, Mercedes-Benz's authorized United States importer at the time, inspired the 300 SL and correctly perceived an American market for such a car. The company introduced the 300 SL in February 1954 at the International Motor Sports Show in New York City instead of in Europe to get it into U.S. buyers' hands sooner. SL is the short form for "super-light" in German, Mercedes' first use of the designation, referring to the car's racing-bred light tubular frame construction.

The 300 SL has a weight-saving tubular frame atop a steel chassis, with a steel body attached to the frame. To further reduce weight, its bonnet, doors, dashboard and boot lid were made of aluminium. The Mercedes-Benz M198 engine is a water cooled 3.0 L; 182.8 cu in (2,996 cc) overhead cam straight-six. Like the racing Mercedes-Benz M194, the 300 SL borrowed the basic 2 valve per cylinder M186 engine from the regular four-door 300 (W186 "Adenauer") luxury tourer introduced in 1951. The 300 SL was voted the "sports car of the century" in 1999.
